Full hijack (agree with parent comment btw, just pointing something else out) because I can't believe no one has mentioned this- OP you gotta lift your arms a LOT more. Not raising the arms is a huge power killer. Check out ▶ this video, does a great job explaining. Tbh everyone should watch this vid because a huge fraction of ams don't do this.

You’re bringing the arms way too much “around” you vs lifting the arms and letting the body bring the arms around. It’s part of the reason your arms and club get so deep and you have to really throw out every angle to get it back in front. Watch these videos to understand: ▶ this video ▶ this video
