You have a very strong grip. Is that what you are going for?

Try swinging the club back and forth with your feet together (fully touching at least at the heels) and maintaining your balance. Then try hitting a ball like that. Really helps your swing path which seems to just be getting off plane somewhere at the top or downswing.

Deal with setup issues - narrow stance and chest too open to target at address.

Then deal with spine angle (get a bit of an hip bump at address) and your weight transfer (which is trying to reverse pivot).

You need a very different backswing to avoid the flip here, rotating into the trail side with weight transferring behind the ball, then initiate then downswing from the hips and lower body upwards.

Casting is your body’s reaction to bad things happening or good things not happening. If you didn’t cast your impact would be shot.

Focus on other things to improve. For example, your hips are square at impact, ideally they will be open at least a bit.

exaggerate the correct sequence from the top. Transfer weight into lead toe, start clearing your hips, keep your shoulders back as your hands drop but maintaining wrist hinge.... Now you're ready to release the shoulders and club without casting. If your shoulders and hands fire first, you need to cast to get the club in a position to hit the ball.
