I bet you block a lot of shots out to the right and or hozzle shots. Instead, shift your weight left, let your downswing happen, and then turn.

I’m not a coach but I would be Careful with the advice you’re giving: ▶ this video Athleticism is what accounts for his ability to square the club given the lifting of his spine before impact. It’s called early extension which in and of itself is an athletic move to save the club face right before impact. A great golf swing is inherently not necessarily athletic but repeatable and safe.
