I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years on off

My current handicap index or average score is: 100+ score

My typical ball flight is: to the right/slice, hit driver high slice everytime

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: shank/slice.

I'm probably not the one to ask, but the things I see are:

good turn

good straight left arm

looks like right arm is folding a little  prematurely on the backswing.

you could more than likely have more control by shortening the backswing a little (not necessary to get parallel at the top unless you can maintain control). Keep elbows more in to the torso.

your arms are in front of the body through most of the swing which is good. (as opposed to getting "stuck" behind the body).

I thought I saw a little "twitch" at the top of the swing where the plane changed a few degrees

coming down, club face was fairly open, but looked as though you got it pretty square at impact.

good extension

good finish.

all in all, from my untrained eye, a decent looking swing.

This vid has a slow motion

It looks like you're swinging a LOT from the outside and in, producing a slice. Look at where your feet, hips and shoulders are aimed and the path your club takes. Not sure where you are aiming. It seems like your shoulders are pointed way left of where your feet are. I'd work on my setup first, squaring the clubface towards the target first and then getting parallel with feet and shoulders. That's a good first step!

Coming from outside to in on downswing right?

I was trying to aim the direction the ball flew but yea it looks my feet are aiming way right, like my right foot is far back and my shoulders more left. Could that be causing that out to in swing path?

Yes, it looks like you're coming from the outside and in on the downswing. There are a lot of things that could cause it. I've been working on my own over-the-top swing for a bit, so I'm probably not the guy to ask! It also kind of looks like you're trying to "lift" the ball with a very steep follow-trough. Try working on hitting down on the ball, and getting that swing to be less from the outside in. There are a lot of great resources on this forum, check out the videos on "five simple keys"!

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
