I'd be interested if you are swaying off the ball too much going back. Almost looks like you are rocking back on the back foot then using it to throw your weight at the target. IDK if you listen to chasing scratch but I thought the video they did recently with the head teacher at titleist was really good. Link is just the short, but the whole video was good. But check your face-on view and see if your head is …

â–¶ this video Your left leg should be pushing you back from the ball on the downswing. Watch this clip (20 sec mark) where it's like sitting on a stool with wheels and you want to propel yourself backwards with only your left leg. This is feeling you want to have on the downswing.
