Padraig Harrington has several great videos about lower body I’d give a watch: ▶ this video ▶ this video He also has videos about the wrists that you can check out, but like OP above, I’d def recommend focusing on getting the lower body more involved first.

I agree, that its more that more hip rotation, more than anything is required, and this doesnt seem to be a flexibility issue Check out PGA tour pro padrig Harrington's youtube channel.

As I commented earlier I think the answer is to set up the app to replay your swings so that you can see what you are doing compared to what you think you are doing. This disconect is often expressed as the “feels not real”. The following videos you should find helpful for working on your early extension: ▶ this video and ▶ this video

The good: You're naturally shallowing the club at transition. Also, grip is strong which I'm going to assume is needed to get the club face square for you. Well done. The bad: You're too upright at address, need a bit more of an acute spine angle and slightly more bend in your knees, but primarily the spine angle. The ugly: You have almost no hip rotation on the backswing. You can't really create lag without that at …

You don't load into your right hip as if you would when you …

Next time you take a video, be sure the space behind you is in the shot. Your body is being cut off during the backswing so we can't see everything going on. There's a bunch of things you can work on, but I'd start with the beginning. You're not rotating in the backswing correctly. You're coming out of your posture almost immediately, and your shoulder and waist line are wayyyyy too flat. Look at this comparison. …
