You know, I tried the online lessons path. Worked with a guy in london, I'm based in Pakistan and there are no certified / trained coaches here. 

The guy told me I needed wrist hinge. I tried that for months and only managed to move the wrist a few inches by the time the club reached parallel on the backswing.

And go back and re-read this thread. You got a ton of good advice from @mvmac and @iacas

Hmm. I need to figure out what to do and stick to that. I wonder if @mvmac can give me a drill or two? 

Are you consciously trying to "swing out to the right?"

Not at all.

I could be wrong but the massive drop happens somewhere in transition or just as the downswing starts. I mean, even if I don't swing Wolff style, the wrists are crazy laid off at the top and then the swing drops down and I'm in no man's land. If only I could not have the wrists pointing to the left so much, wouldn't I be alright?

What are you trying to do with your backswing right now? Are you trying to do more of a Gankas/Wolffe move?

Yes but it's most likely not something you can just fix by thinking about it manipulating your wrists.

The lower body and where the pressure is working in your feet is off, I would suggest keeping it simple for now. Get a club across your shoulders and work the left shoulder under the chin going back and right shoulder under the chin on the downswing. This downswing move should feel much different to you.

I'm trying to keep my hands inside the club so yes, it would be Matt Wolff type. It's helped a little bit as seen in the picture but it's not enough clearly. 

Will try the shoulder drill you mentioned today.

You have no "around" with your right side so it might basically feel like you're coming over the top.

I'm not sure what you mean by around but maybe what you're suggesting is that by rotating the right shoulder under, I'll be able to bring the club back on to plane?

Yes. 

By around, compare this player's right shoulder to yours.

Got it.

Couldn't get to the range yesterday but today I will. Will try and revert back. 

Thank you so much for your continued input.

So, I've decided to remake the swing, start over again. I understand I've chosen the longer road, but in the long run, it may well be the right choice.

This is the sequence I'm working on. Current speed of swing 2/10. Balls I'm hitting daily: 200

Why?

Also, left arm is too far out, probably not quite turning enough.

While it may seem like a good idea, you can't just "factory reset" your swing. Better to just focus on a priority and make that better. Rather than trying to achieve a certain kind of swing, just improve on what you currently have.
