Try loosening your grip pressure and swinging more freely, your downswing is kind rigid.

Use impact tape or foot powder spray to see where contact is. Toe shot can lose 20-30% of distance in my experience.
Hard to tell from low frame rate, but you might be releasing (unhinging wrists) a bit early. Try some practice swings without a ball and listen for the whoosh. Try to make it happen just before the low point. An indoor lesson with a good video system could help a lot.

I’m not a good player myself nor an instructor but it looks like, in addition to hitting it off the toe, you’re leaning with your upper body towards the target at the top. Google “Monte Scheinblum the Real X Factor”. There’s an article somewhere about doing a full turn and maintaining body tilt away from the target and how it helps distance.

How much distance are you expecting?
Looks like you’re hitting it way off the toe.

Hope that helps.
