Let me start by saying you need a lot of work, and it will not all come together over night so you are going to have to be patient or find a coach to help you get where you want to be faster.
Your timing is the biggest issue, it is very early, the
ball is long gone and your foot is still sliding. You are early through out your approach, so to fix this you will need to delay your push away until just after the second step in your approach. You want your foot to be stopped completely before the
ball comes through, doing so will give you much better leverage, and accuracy.
Next, your arm swings away from your body the whole swing, it is like your elbow is allergic to your fabric softener or something, keep you elbow in tight to your body through out the swing.
Next, your trail leg is in the way of your swing, move it out of the way, or you will hit it with the
ball. The early timing is probably the culprit, but you need to move your [censored] as Susie Minshew likes to say. If you get into a slide position you will notice a triangle that is made by your sliding leg going in this direction \ and your trail leg going in this direction / the
ball goes in the angle and the only way to get it there without hitting your trail leg is to kick it back and to the left as you start your slide.
Your slide needs to be toward your target and not to the left, if you slide with your heel toward your target your hips and shoulders will line up to your target line better and your balance will improve as well.
Last but not least, you turn the
ball way too early, and your hand is in a very weak position at the point of release. Try to keep your wrist cupped all the way through to the release point, then extend your fingers through the target to the break point, and don't try to throw the
ball so hard. Throwing the
ball hard is the number one culprit in a weak release and you throw it hard because in the back of your mind your brain is telling you things like, "if you don't throw it hard, the
ball will not hook" and "I have to make it hook", in reality you are holding the
ball back from doing anything constructive, and that is all you will ever be able to do until you just let the
ball go without forcing it.
I have just given you a year's worth of homework, so don't try to do it all over night, fix the timing first then post another side view back and we will go from there.
