Lots of people are saying "over the top," and you're saying that you rush. You can fight both of those with this: ▶ this video "Dropping the club" rather than firing it out towards the ball right away was a eureka moment for me. I perspnally need to feel like gravity …

You’re going to just have to try different things. One simple one is placing a head cover adjacent to ball in a way to force yourself to swing from the inside. Dropping the arms straight down towards your right pocket from the top seems to work for me when my path gets off. ▶ this video I agree with the other commenter about being stuck with your lead arm pinned across the chest but disagree with the solution.
