Swing the handle not the clubhead. Try to feel as if the butt of the grip gets past ball while its still pointing at the target. You’ll feel like you are going to be so late and blow it waaay right, but that is when you rotate hard. You will probably hit a bunch of slices trying it, but just try rotating harder. You’ll eventually time it up and also hit it a lot further.

Sling it inside

Try to feel your clubhead starting uncomfortably inside and finishing it by pushing the head out. To help, place a tee or marker to the right of your center flight path and try to push the clubhead over it on your follow through.

Close your stance instead of playing it open, back foot drop back a bit to the front. Looks to me like you’re a bit open right now so this change could help encourage the in-out path

It helped me to try to have the face pointed toward the ground in my backswing…like making sure it’s pointed down instead of out.

Hands need to come down vertically not diagonally towards the ball when you start the downswing.

Put a second tee in the ground, a little ahead and to the right. Try to hit the ball, then the second tee. Seems you’re more interested in your RPM’S.
Body rotation is important, but just one component. You ‘re storing energy to release at impact. Use it all.
First, think about some pro golfer with a similar body type whose swing you admire. Find film. You’ll want to compare what you’re doing at some specific point in the swing to them.
Framework- Your spine is the axis around which you’ll rotate. Stand behind the intended line, now draw a line between the ball and the point between your shoulders and extend it further. This is your swing plane. Your shaft stays on plane, your arms stay on plane. As your wrists cock and release, stay on plane. You get the point.
Backswing is arms, shoulders, and hips. Arms lift the club initially and a little later the hands lift the club, wrists cocking, all the while staying on your swing plane and allowing the body to store the torque.
To this point, all this tension was stored top-down. We’re going to release it bottom-up – hips shoulders, arms, and the hands and club are an extension of the arms.
Hips start the downswing by sliding a bit forward, causing the rear shoulder to drop a bit, tilting the spine, and dropping the hands (with cocked club) – still on plane. Add to the momentum by engaging the arms, introducing them to the conversation, and at the appropriate time, the hands come thru. Pull with the left hand, especially the last 3 fingers.
At contact, your hands should be approx even to the ball, allowing for slight variations for shot shape, spin, flight, etc. Finish high.
This is another reason I’d recommend those wedge drills. They provide much feedback about what you’re doing and your effectiveness.
Hope this isn’t too confusing.

Slide your back foot backwards. Helps get your trail arm under and thru. Else its slice city for me

Why?

At address, crank your left shoulder all the way shut so elbow faces target, and then turn your wrist back to take your grip. Kick your right foot back two inches. Nice lean in the spine angle. Then don’t let your knee get out over your foot, and keep your club face shut.

Back your right foot up
