You're swinging the club like it's a driver and keeping your chest behind the ball. You want to do this for the driver to give you a positive attack angle (ball goes farther) but you don't want to do this for irons/hybrids. The above is a concept called "covering the ball" and this is a good YouTube video that explains it in detail ▶ this video

I'd make some changes to his setup that encourage him to feel like he's covering the golf ball with his chest through impact. He can use the ground more and create a mini 'squat' motion that allows his lower body to drive the swing. It's a decent looking swing but he's really just turning his body smoothly through the shot and not creating any real power with his legs. ▶ this video
