Judging by this video, your grip looks awfully strong. Maybe take a more neutral grip or even weak with your irons.

Is it starting down the line then curving right or starting right and curving even more right?

I’ve found it’s usually just a bad ball

Your trail hand is already in flexion in P5 (where arms are parallel to ground). That’s a classic flip.
Do a Google search for images of wrist flexion and extension, and try to understand what that means in comparison to pronation/supination/ulnar deviation/radial deviation. Practice hitting balls with your trail wrist in extension through impact. Exaggerate it at first until you learn how much extension you need to keep the club face square.

Rotation slows, you early release the club and you have a chix wind in your right arm because you have not rotated, already released and are dragging the club therefore chicken wing.

Pretty nice.
But you’re swaying a bit too much in the backswing and then not transferring weight forward before swinging through.
That’s why you’re ending up with the dreaded chicken wing at contact.
Look up rotation drills. And try the step drill.

Ball too far forward in your stance causing you face to be closed when you hit the ball, pulling it.
Move the ball back 3 inches and sloe your swing 10%

Love your ink!

Try hitting right handed for a warm up session and then go back to left for the round. Trust me

I think it’s the visor

Twenty handicapper here. Could it be your looking up early and not finishing your weight shift and follow through?

I struggle with this too. Moving the ball back an inch or two usually fixes it!

Don’t try and kill it, let the club do the work. Also what the other person said about the grip

Chicken wing
wespyen
Sway in the backswing with reverse pivot and overswing leading to running out of room when you get to impact so you chicken wing and get enough space. That’s why your finish has your arms in such a weird place. Not a great way to generate power. You have to find the swing plane on the downswing bc your shoulders move from the original plane so much.
Rewatching your swings, you also lift the club with your shoulders and arms after the takeaway, and shrug the clubhead vertically. The vertical displacement of the clubhead should primarily be wrist hinge, of which you have very little. The strong grip doesn’t help bc that promotes hinging horizontally rather than vertically. Weakening the grip a touch might help in a couple areas.

Seems like its probably a collection of small things. I don’t see anything really glaring in your swing. One thing that sticks out to me is your ball position at address. It’s a little forward for my taste. It could be a factor in that your club face and path are already turning over before contact, simply because the contact is slightly later than ideal. I’d recommend trying to move it back slightly, on the range, to expirement. When I say slightly, I mean only the distance of one golf ball, at most. Again, don’t by any means take this as gospel, just something to play with and see if it has any effect. Moving the ball can also affect contact a little, depending on where in the swing your club bottoms out, so these kinds of adjustments should be taken slowly and gradually. No extreme moves.

Slower and smaller backswing perhaps

You’re rotating after impact instead of through which is causing your arms to correct and cause a trap
Status_Poet_5947
I think your head shifts away from the target at impact, giving you excessive upper body tilt. This is ok for a driver swing, but for irons your head should be where it was at address or slightly towards the target.

This is very simplified
If it is going right, and NOT curving in the air, then it is mostly an alignment problem in your setup.
If the ball is going to the right AND curving in the air, then you have a grip issue and an alignment issue.
Try this, do the feet together drill. Do a quarter swing, then half , then 3/4 swing.
