Check your chin position and forward lean (from hips) at address. This type of move can be from lack of forward lean, which causes you to keep your chin too far down, into the chest. A quick way to check is to hit a few with your chin turned back away from the target, ala Jack, Snead, Morrison. You may notice that you have much more of a 'free' arm swing with that small change.
