Drills etc more than welcome !!

Thanks
A couple additional areas to check at setup that can contribute

an overly wide stance

a left foot that is too 'square' to the line at address

A right forearm that is too high at address (bad grip)

Shoulder line open at address

All of these limit your ability to pivot properly.

Hit some shots with your feet together until you can stay in balance.
