Lets make sure we're talking about the same thing.
If your video camera is in a down the line view, and if you do a Pitch shot (about half way) then the back of your wrist is facing the camera stand where it touches the ground and the word Yoda is facing your face. You can read the word "Yoda". "Y" is at the bottom and "A" is at the Top. At this point in your swing, if you used the right forearm take-away, your shoulders have moved and your right forearm is about parallel to the ground.
So the wrist, the inside, where you would buckle your watch if you wore one on your right wrist, would always face your face.

I was thinking the camera from the face on view. I understand the position you are talking about though halfway back.
Ball's starting left because the face is shut at the top. Plus your head is back. But mainly the face is shut. So open the face some at address. Look at your left wrist . . . you may want do some hammering to see how the left wrist cocks with the grip you got. You have an anatomically flat left wrist at the top which is OK however the face is shut. So you can open the face some or cock your left wrist some where you get some bend.
Now plenty of cats play nice golf with a shut face Duval . . . Trevino . . . but you are pretty much dependent on getting the right amount of shaft lean to keep that face OPEN . . Otherwise the face is gonna pull the ball.
Ok . . . just looked at the face on . . . I'd say you either need to roll that left hand counter clockwise some or you need to feel like you are bending the heck out of your left wrist at the top.
Bent vs. Flat with your grip
That bent one probably gives you more insurance on shaft lean . . . if you got the buck shut face you'd BETTER get the lean or that ball starts left.
Couples . . . less leany
Buck . . . gotta lean it to get the face open enough not to start it left of left.

It's been a long journey since our first day together some five years ago at The Swamp.
Since then, I've said many times that, your LBG persona to the contrary . . .
Here is my video question seeing if I am barking up the right tree as suggested by Daryl. Volume is crappy but audible if you turn it up.
Thanks for everyones input. This is an issue that has to be corrected in order for me to get to where I want. I probably am exaggerating the positions but hopefully its clear enough,
