It just looks very handsy and scoopy through the ball.
You’re closing the face by throwing away the shaft lean not by turning the face down.
It’s not horrible, but the hands fly away from you a bit through the strike and your follow through gets vertical because of this.
I’d work on it if you feel like you have contact issues especially with long clubs off the ground. This isn’t ideal but is definitely a way to play if you can make it work.

Yes. You have a steep OTT downswing and then a flippy shallow release to compensate. A problem 3/4 of people have.

Personally, the only thing I would change is extending your right elbow out more for increased swing depth. I find myself with steep iron/hybrid swings as well, but I can get em going straight so it doesn’t bother me much. I don’t agree with other posters claiming OTT; that usually happens when you’re hitting *across* the ball, outside to inside, causing a draw/slice. You have a swing that even though it’s steep, it’s on-line

It is, you are holding the face open via wrist being cocked. Flex it flat and you’ll flatten the swing plane, too (And close the face some)
Here’s your start of the downswing, see the cocked lead wrist?
