Clubs looks like it is never behind the hands at the beginning of the backswing and seems too far inside. This could be causing a swing plane that gives that left miss. Look at this Nick Faldo drill setting the club right behind the hands with no turn and then incorporating hips/shoulders. Really helped my swing plane. ▶ this video

Way too much back swing. Check this drill out from Nick Faldo. So simple but it really helps me find my sweet spot in the back swing. You don’t even need a ball to do this. You can go to the backyard and just practice your take away. Once you get the feel for it you can even do it on the golf course in the middle of a round while you’re waiting for your shot. ▶ this video

I had a really flat backswing. I used the Faldo preset drill. It’s completely changed for the better, my club position at the top. One piece of advice, on the video from down the line Faldo’s club points straight up to the sky on the takeaway when he’s at parallel with the ground. For me, having the club face match my spine angle helped keep me from rolling the face open in the takeaway. ▶ this video
