Path of hands in downswing

Hey, Tom. I finally got out to use the net, yesterday, and after taking video of my downswing from behind I noticed an issue. I compared my downswing to yours in your latest youtube video where you play your swing in slow motion. Something is still off with my swing as I put more pieces together and I think I found another missing piece. My setup looks good (to me) and when I start my swing and I get closer to the ball with the club I noticed my hands are reaching out to strike the ball. They are not going back to the same place as at address. Your hands at contact are nice and close to your body and look similar to when at address. Even though I start the back swing good (I think!!) I can see myself reaching out to strike the ball. I believe I've been doing this all of my golfing life and this is the first I've noticed it. I think this explains why I've never been able to take a divot after the ball. My practice swings with no ball I think are fine. I'm not trying to hit anything so the swing feels better. But when I have the ball in front of me to strike I want to hit it as hard as I can so I subconsciously reach out towards the ball to hit it. Last night and today I've been working on hitting the practice balls making contact similar as when at address. I can now take a divot. First time ever I can take a divot after the ball. Wow!! But it feels a little strange and this is going to be a hard habit to break - especially on the course. I hit some practice balls down the street and those were nice and straight. And the groupings in the net are much tighter. Now I need to get to the range and see how real balls fly. But thought I'd share to see if you have any thoughts on that. (I know, video 2.8. lol ) It kind of makes sense in the past as I'd do a practice swing with no ball and it would feel good. Then I go to hit the ball with a full swing and the swing would feel off and it was luck if I hit a good shot or not. I'm guessing it's because I've been reaching out to hit it but I had no idea I was doing that. I can only see it in the video. And of course I was never consistent.
