I feel like you posture at setup may be off too (too much on your heels with your rear too far away). So try this video to check your setup: ▶ this video As an aside check out this: ▶ this video Then do some early extension drills: ▶ this video ▶ this video ▶ this video

Way, way too much on the heels at address. Your entire pelvis is behind your heels. Instead, your hips (center of pelvis) should be over your ankles so that you could draw a line straight down through the center of your To get there, use less knee bend, get a bit closer to the ball, and a more upright spine angle. It'll help if you switch to overlapping pinky grip and choke down a bit less on the club. ▶ this video

I personally think your setting up for early extension. Knees to flexed. Watch a couple good videos on set up. Having a good set up position is so under rated. Check out this video and let me know how it goes ▶ this video
