Can’t seem to get out of the habit of straightening up the right leg on the back swing.

Can’t seem to get out of the habit of straightening up the right leg on the back swing. When I concentrate on it or try and do the squat to square I’m hitting really fat shots. Any suggestions?

Just my two cents worth, I think your feet and hips are pointing what looks like to be right of target while your shoulders seem square to target, (just my best guess), So going from there, what you may think is a straight shot is actually a pulled shot, You are definitely coming out of posture during the downswing to impact. Compared to set up... 1) hips have moved closer to the ball in the downswing at impact 2) head has moved away from the ball in the downswing at impact 3) handle of club is a fair bit higher at impact compared to setup 4) shoulders and hips are square at impact, not posted up at impact, otherwise hips would be open with shoulders square, I'll leave it with the experts to suggest which drills to work on, if indeed they even agree with what I am noticing. Best wishes on your golfing journey, and please take my comments with best intentions rather than criticism.
