First, when you are setting up 'see' impact, be 'comfortable' and totally balanced.

See the forward leaning shaft, the downward ball then turf contact in your minds eye

you are off plane most likely - rolled too flat

you need more 'up' in your takeaway, get the right hand 'up' OVER your right shoulder (not behind it) - on plane - and 'skip a stone' to a spot about 3 feet in front of the ball

keep that left wrist FLAT while you take the club 'UP' the plane.

Brian's "twist away" move can be very helpful with the flat left wrist, as can "extensor action" - using the base of the right hand to keep your hands as far away from the center of your shoulders as you can, gently keeping that left arm straight - this gently 'locks in' your hands, almost as if you had them wrapped in an ace bandage

send the 'force' to both arms straight - to that spot in front of the ball, swinging your HANDS like a child on a swingset DOWN the plane, THROUGH the ball

Finish in total balance, close your eyes and hold your finish
