I'd really focus on your backswing. I pointed out some things with stills and gifs in my imugr link. Summary is, you over-rotate shoulders and hips in your backswing, and under-rotate in your followthrough. Backswing is key though. I really like this video. They are focusing in the arm lift part but I think it'll help you because you are over-roating to compensate for lack of armlift. ▶ this video [imgur.com]

Shanks aren’t mythical. You’re moving the hosel closer to the ball. Likely early extension and a stall pivot / flip pattern ▶ this video This video does a good showing where the direction of the force should go in the swing. This will be counterintuitive
