Hello Taylor. Setup is the first item I would start with. You can see how far you are reaching with the club. This is causing your lines to be off. The feet are closed and shoulders are open. Starting unbalanced is really hurting the cause. Secondly, you don't pull you lead hip behind you. I would get your lines straight, distance from the ball correct and focus on the lead hip moving back and away. Take a look at the Clamshell Video below.

Taylor, I'm working the same issue you have. Our swings look a lot alike. I haven't solved it yet, so I might not know what I'm talking about, but here's my own observations and strategy. When beginning the transition, do not think weight shift or hip rotation, think squat while pushing the lead hip back AND keeping the trail hip back. The trail hip can't go towards the ball as the lead hip moves back. Also I find that if I don't start with my weight far enough forward I lose my balance when trying to move the lead hip back. Should be centered over the arches.
