The take away is excellent but I think you are early extending and need to shallow the club more: You're coming out of the downswing early and your hips are moving toward the ball instead of clearing.

Even from here I can see that you have a very flat takeaway (left arm below level of shoulders) and you are coming over the top. There are a number of ways you can fix this but I would first try getting your left arm a little more vertical (at or slightly above the angle of your shoulders) at the top of your swing and shallowing the club at the top.
