[preview.redd.it] You're in an awesome spot in pic 1, but then you get well under plane by the time you're approaching impact. You've got what Tiger called the "ole" move. In pic 2 your right shoulder has dipped (your upper body is "hanging back") and your hips appear to have mostly slid or "fired" forward toward the target rather than turned around.

I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with your swing. I think you're just late with releasing the club for how athletic your move is. Your swing speed looks at least 110mph, yeah?

Firing the hips is also not necessary and often will hurt. ▶ this video
