I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year] My current handicap index or average score is: high 80's, low 90's My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice Hey guys, I'm new here, this is my first post. I'm hoping to get some feedback on why I come over the top, I can't figure it out. It's really annoying to have a fade and then get a huge banana slice every other hole. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the site!  Nice swing overall.  Work on the posture like Erik is saying.  Was the driver swing you are showing a slice or a fade? There is loads of good stuff here to participate in.

To me, I feel like my arms look constricted on the back swing, and maybe my hips/shoulders spin out too much.

Well, your hips are constricted.  You have virtually no hip turn going back and thus you cannot get your hands deep enough to come from the inside more.  All that you can do is throw the hands out and away from your body with your position at the top and then you cut across the ball.

I can't see the face on Driver, but you probably need to look at this:

It will help with a lot of things, but yeah it will make it easier to come from the inside a bit.  Make sure you watch both the video I embedded and the first video in the "myth" thread.

Would having a slightly closed stance be so bad? I don't come over the top too bad, and it really helps my ball striking.

You already do have one, but no it is not so bad as long as the pull is not so bad.

Alright, I'll go out tomorrow and hit some drives a bit more closed, I'll post a video so you guys can give your opinion if I'm pulling it too hard.

I would not do that. You are already a bit closed from what I can tell. Don't worry about that right now, just work on those hips, watch that video a few times. Good luck, work on it a bunch and post again with some video. I will come back and help you when you start posting elsewhere one the site as well, happy to have you here. ;)

Hey, I've been working on my swing a looooooot lately. Been swinging a bit easier, and really concentrating on getting those hands inside, as well as trying not to spin my hips. Almost every shot is a baby draw or fade, with the occasional pull or push. Still getting used to the swing. Anyway, here's some three quarter effort swings from today: [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/KqUR2gnCbmo[/VIDEO] not my best swing of the day, but don't trust the camera, it didn't fade more than two feet. [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/2t1C7ZjOBps[/VIDEO] and here's a face on angle. Much better swing.

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
