I use an overlaping grip, tho you cant tell from these videos. It was 15 degrees and i didnt even put a glove on. I ran out with my Fiance hit 2 balls and ran in. Im trying to look in these videos and from the looks i think i just gripped and ripped. Anyway im not worried about my grip its my swing.

I could be wrong but from the few times that i watched both videos I feel that your hands are much closer to your body than this. When I have my hands too close it tends to predispose me to slicing the ball...get those hands in your "power zone" and you'll be good i think. Also, looks to me like you're swinging pretty damn hard...if this isnt full speed then I'd hate to see what is :)
Thanks for your feedback. My misses are not slices tho. My iron misses are a 5-10 yard draw left of the green. My driver misses are a big hook left. Im not a slicer i have a hook problem. What im thinking is with my hands being close to my body im comming a little to much inside to out with a square club face. Causing me to hit that slight draw left. Im going to hit the range either today or tomorrow and get some videos of actually full swinging on some real balls. Thanks again.
If you look i kind of have the same set up as Paddy. Tho im not comparing myself to him as a golfer just the set up. I wonder if his misses are also a draw left?

Sorry guys for the multiple post. I need to learn how to multi quote. Yea that swing is about 70%. My full swing is a little faster. I have good club head speed through impact. I tend to dip my head when i swing to hard. In the summer i get an average drive of 270-280 yards. I hit a small Par 4 at Cohanzick country club in Fairton New Jersey this year 313 dog leg left. Rapped it around and greened it. That was one of my best Drives this season.
