You’re supposed to rotate the left hip around and the right hip has to get closer to the ball when you do this.
The hips are an ellipse, not round. When you rotate they will move closer and further from the ball.
There’s a ton of bad info online and bad tips, this is yet another one of them.

It looks your weight isn’t shifting to the front completely during the downswing and it hangs back a bit. Watch the right foot before impact. It seems like weight is going towards the target, then there’s a small planting movement in that foot.
The left knee should be heading towards to target as a consequence of throwing the hip down the target line. Try to move the ball a little further up in your stance, it could encourage the weight to go forward more. If the ball is back, sometimes the body will compensate and move the swing arc backwards. Having the ball in-line with the left eye is a good starting point.

I think your stance is too narrow and it’s preventing you from using your hips properly. Honestly it doesn’t look like you’re using them at all lol
During your backswing, you wanna feel a loading sensation into your trail leg. Kind of like a weight shift (without swaying). Since you have a fairly narrow stance, I think if you tried to properly load into your trail leg, you’ll have a difficult time keeping balanced. So first and foremost, i would widen your stance a little and make sure you’re loading into that trail leg properly.
(The load should come from your rotation not a sway backwards)
Once you’ve loaded properly, to start your downswing, before you do anything else at all, try to feel like your left ass cheek sort of bumps towards the target slightly. Like a tiny hip check almost.
That’s going to do two things. First, it’ll delay the early hip rotation. Second, it’ll help release that stored energy you loaded up.

Trail hip needs to move towards the target, not stay back

these guys say alot, maybe just simplify…. come to a stop at the top and dont fire the hips until you feel the pause…

You’re not supposed to keep your trail hip back.
This is a bad concept and will make it worse.
