Great swing and lower body movement. Only area I would consider is wrist hinge in the backswing. I’d like to see you set the club a little earlier. You are loosing the angle between the club and wrist in the downswing(casting), which will cause some lost compression/distance. I’d highly recommend two videos for you. ▶ this video ▶ this video

The “keeping the beach ball under the water metaphor” is a good one for takeaway: ▶ this video For me, I just concentrate on turning my core and don’t allow anything else to move until I get to my trail leg. Keeps my arms from moving behind me. My problem: If my arms creep slightly behind, I get pushes and contact gets weird. From the trail leg onward I set my wrist flat and hinge as I continue turning. For me, I’m …

No, your back swing is good. Your elbows look to be in the right places. What’s happening with the club head is due to your wrists & hands. Watch this and drill this a few times about setting the club face. At the top the club head should almost be pointing up in the air above your head not back on your lead side. ▶ this video

You have great tempo! if you go to the top of the backswing and remove your lead left hand, does it feel like you have any chance to the ball? prob not and as such you try to save it on the way down and rather than rotate, move your body toward the ball. I recommend using an L to L drill to focus on wrist conditions, setting and contact and hitting an eight iron 100 yards only. your tempo will shine there and allow …
