Let's Face It
First thing that stands out is the position of your right hand. The alignment of the the grip is reaking havok with the clubface.
Can't see the left hand very well but would have to assume that it would also need a little adjustment. Second would be to get into a more balanced address and with not so much forward lean. A balanced set-up would allow a little wiggle of the toes to ensure the weight is back more under the ankles and heels.

So what ur saying is that my grip is probably strong - and too strong. Should be leaned more towards neutral?

The left wrist cocks and uncocks in a vertical to the ground motion when you hold your left arm out in front of your body. The left wrist moves from Fully cocked to Level to Fully Uncocked.

Per 4-B-1 Level. The Wrist is Level when the wrist-bone and the edge of the hand (to the first knuckle of the first finger) form a straight line. Bold by me.

This and the Right Forearm Flying Wedge are key alignments necessary at Impact and can be seen in the swings of most pros. Homer wanted us to establish these alignments at Address, not so common on tour these days, but the road to consistency he believed. I can personally attest to it working wonders.

You can hit the search button on this site and type in key words for tons of information.

You're in good hands with BBax by the way. He's a pro himself.

Regards
O.B.

PS here is a nice example of a level left wrist at Address (although its hard to see) and a Right Forearm Flying Wedge alignment. I believe it was this fellow here, Brian Gay who basically credited his recent success (3 million plus dollars worth of success this year) to a switch to the level left wrist at Address.

Thanks. The picture was "gold" in terms of me understanding this.
