Sounds like you are coming too far from the inside, extending you arms, and leaving the face open. That would explain the occasional shank too. Otherwise, you are just starting your lower body too soon. Either way the club head never has a chance to catch up.
When I feel like I’m not squaring up at impact, I’ll make some nice slow practice swings with just my left hand on the club, then with just my right. It really helps me get back into a nice tempo and helps me use my upper body more instead of just my arms.

more practice and watch dvd , you will have some improvement .
It is true that you might be coming too much from the inside, and you might also be turning you’re hips too fast. However what I would say is so does Sergio Garcia, and Tiger Woods to a lesser extent. More importantly, you might be trying to hit the ball too early. Many amateurs try to get to the ball with their bodies too early and leave the club ‘behind’. What you have to do is turn through the shot but feel as though the club is allowed to catch up with the body at impact. This means the sequence goes: hips accelerate, torso accelerates, arms accelerate, club head accelerates, hips decelerate, torso decelerates, arms decelerate, impact. This sequence happens so quickly that it’s hard to feel unless done in slow-motion. The sequence ensures the best possible transference of energy to the clubhead. and also makes controlling the clubface much easier.
Make sure your balance is good. If your weight is too far on your toes or your standing too close to the ball, you could shank it. After a few months off, its best to go to the range a few times and practice the fundamentals (alignment, balance, staying down, etc.) After a few days, you should be back on track.
