You are definitely disconnected, the towel drill is my trusted technique for teaching arm connection. ▶ this video I dont know if anybody has addressed this with you but you do need to consider an overlap grip, the hands are not operating together, they seem to be pushing against each other more than anything.

Weaken your grip, your left hand is far too strong. Very nice spine angle tilt but your shoulder plane is flat on the backswing, think of a waiter holding a platter aloft to get your right shoulder in position. Main issue is your arms are separating from your trunk. Try the towel training technique to keep your swing more compact but do the drill correctly: ▶ this video

Right. 2:35 mark, after saying how many ways this can go wrong…. Just a little 3/4 swing… ▶ this video Little tiny half shots ▶ this video 25 second mark, do not do full swings ▶ this video 3:50 mark, just work a 30 yard pitch ▶ this video But do go on, you were flat out opposing well, pretty much every single coach on the planet because you know better. Do go on. Teach us. 🙄
