You are spinning out from your shoulders and going directly to the ball with your hands At the start of the downswing, do not move your lead shoulder. This will allow you to drop your hands and then rotate into the ball. Your hands need to come down and around into the ball like an inverted ‘J’, instead of the ‘\’ shape you are doing ▶ this video

In my opinion, this basic move you see guys like Bryson advocating is the simplest way ▶ this video A key to make this WAY easier is keep your hands in front of your chest at the top of the backswing as opposed pinning your lead arm across chest.
