Maybe it is an optical illusion because the camera is not perfectly facing your intended line of flight. But you should , at the top specially, check by feeling with a combination or a single pressure point, the clubhead inertia, that it moves in an angular motion (clubhead has a 2 dimensional trajectory during the whole stroke). I say this because you look kind of 'floppy' (hands and club) at the top. However if that is not what is happening in your swing, well, you can always monitor to be sure it is correct.
what i am talking about is you should almost feel like the club head is weighted and it is hard to pick up. i remember yoda made me feel like it weighed a lot it is also the wet mop affect. what really helped me was to get a heavy mop and swing with that you will feel the lag in the take back and also that lag you would like before you come to impact.

Lagging clubhead takeaway?
I started mucking around with that this weekend...added compression at impact instantly for me!
You're on your way to a good motion. Looks to me that you may want to focus on some slow motion plane line tracing. The club is moving out/over plane, which forces you to keep the clubface a bit too closed going back in order to make solid contact and keeps your right side too high through the ball.
Try some "left foot right toe" drills - setup, then move your right foot back (about a 6 inches/foot behind the left heel, up on the toe). Keep your shoulder line square.
This will give you a much more 'underhanded pitch' feel and let you feel a 'cleared right hip' and a lower right shoulder through impact.
Flexibility may be an issue, so use just 3/4 swings with a wedge to start. 'Allow' a bit more of a startup swivel as you start back.
You may find that at first you will either pull hook the heck out of it, or perhaps hit some hosel rockets because of your current tendencies, but stick with it and keep tracing that straight plane line.
