Some things that I see that to me (I'm not an AI), indicate a mixing of components:

1) You start from impact fix (a hitters "preference"). As Toolish said, you seem to have over-cooked the forward ball position and, combined with a very forward leaning shaft, is forcing you to put that left wrist in an arched position.

1a) Looks under-plane at startup, but it appears you're trying to carry it back with the clubface still "looking at the ball" as a hitter would. (Looks like not enough "fanning" and not enough right forearm pickup).

2) You go to "Top" (as a hitter "should").

3) Looks like you're empoying a pitch elbow (a swingers preference), rather than the more "at-the-side" punch elbow position of a hitter.

4) Your very "complete" finish position looks more like a swinger than a hitter, so your pivot may be a bit "confused". Are you "spinning the flywheel" (swinger) or "taking up the slack" on the start-down in preparation for using your right shoulder as a backstop (hitter)?

Nice on-plane right forearm at setup and impact.

Bottom line.... I see a mixture of hitting and swinging elements. The arched left wrist is probably a compensation tied to it. The clubface looks very "shut" as a result of the arched wrist. I suspect if you were to sequence your release and use horizontal hinging you'd be taking out everything on the left side of the range.

Do you have a preferred pattern (hitting or swinging)?
