Right, but Shortening your backswing is a great way to work on your swing. Especially impact quality. Lots of good info out there on this. It made a huge difference for me. The longer your swing the more variables you introduce. ▶ this video

I’d recommend you shorten your backswing. You take it soooo far back that your body is just over rotated. focus on your arms getting parallel to the ground, setting your wrists. This will help you learn how to use the ground for better power. I know it sounds weird “take it back less for more power”, but I promise it will help you hit more consistent, pure shots!
