Sounds like a steep outside in over the top move, but with alignments that allow you to be closer to no throw away.

As always, check impact fix. Ensure that you are balanced and are 'supporting' impact from the 'back' side of the shaft (see the Doyle clips).

Your head is probably moving forward, either starting at address with it too forward, or moving it forward as you start down, a lunge move.

That head movement is potentially from a reverse pivot, getting to steep with your shoulder turn. Hard to say for sure without seeing your motion.

As an drill to learn to be more 'level' with your weight/pressure shifts back and through, the 'step through' drill is a great one (think Gary Player). Getting 'behind' the ball, even letting that left foot come off the ground to do it, will really help you. The feeling of hitting the ball with the back of the left shoulder should get you drawing the ball.

Also, hitting chip shots with your feet together and the ball off your right toes would be helpful for you, keeping your weight left and 'minimizing un-needed movement' - just feeling the entire shaft 'swing' with downward compression.
