You’re early extending. Try practicing pushing off the trail heel, and not coming onto your trail toes so early. You should be rolling your ankle invertly slightly, with a slight lift of heel ▶ this video

It’s called “ Early Extension “ you raise up, thrust your belt buckle towards the ball and because this prevents you from Turning into impact, you just throw your hands and arms down at the ball, when doing this, you pull the club closer to your body and hit off the toe. ▶ this video ▶ this video
