Your grip is the reason, or at least one main reason. Too strong and too much in the palm of the right hand. Hard to see the left clearly. Once you get a good grip, the club hinges so much more easily and the club face comes back square.

[imgur.com] You have to fix the grip before anything. Notice the gap between the heel pad of your hand and the grip of the club. Heel pad should go more “on top” of the club. It will feel weird when changing (ask me how I know) but it will be way more secure and worth it in the longer run. Two of my favorite grip videos: ▶ this video ▶ this video

Personally I would fix the grip first by getting into the fingers of the left hand. I would be willing to bet you wear out gloves in the palm. I think you have a ton of untapped potential by getting your hands on the club properly. Tons of nice athletic body moves, I just don't think your grip supports the club well at all. ▶ this video
