You have a semi western fh grip and you are shanking the ball. Chances are your point of contact is quite low (the top frame is tilted forward, the bottom frame is tilted backwards) because your racket head is close at contact! The reality is that you hit the ball with strings-bed not the frame; thus the racket must be vertical at contact so that strings are exposed to the ball!

For semi western fh grip, the ideal point of contact is between your mid-section and chest and more in front.

For depth: High circular backswing (your right hand knuckles your head height), chest-high point of contact, hit through more, and follow through, and you will have depth on your shots.
