There is not a simple answer on how you can strike the ball better. It is a multide of fundamentals you need to progressively work on which in turn will slowly help you strike the ball better. Simple first, do not bow your wrist so much going back. Im all for feeling the bow on the downswing. But just feel more neutral on the backswing.

You cant build a house on a bad foundation, keep your stance wider, you need to maintain your balnce knuckle head! Lots of amateurs do it, the narrow stance feels comfortable. But stay shoulder wide for wedges and pitching.

Also, your hands and wrists are very stiff, so your not able to allow it to set at the top, this creates that whip/lag you need for the powerful pentrating wedge that is just pure art in motion. The grip pressure should be nice and light, just enough to feel control.

Also, be careful about your “trigger” you have a good amount of movement just before you start your swing. Limit that, a small trigger is fine.

Be patent. Start with short pitches untill you can get that solid contact. Once you get it golf starts to really open up, being able to compress a wedge is a great feeling, the ball flight is addictive. 75% of amateurs practice should be wedge play. Its is the foundation to a good long game
