My Swing (Blang09)

[Blang09]

I'm just getting back into golf now that kids have gotten older. At one point i was shooting in the low to mid 80s but always had to compensate for the slice off the tee and mid to low irons. My short game around the green is good since i've always had to scramble. I'm taking lessons with my local pro next week but wanted to get some more feedback from the group here. I've already been playing with my swing plane because the first time i recorded i could definitely see an over the top swing and not much hip rotation. Any thoughts recommendations would be appreciated. 

I've been Playing Golf for: 20 years on and off
My current handicap index or average score is: 90
My typical ball flight is: left to rigt
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice off tee and mid irons

You're doing a "bad" drill if you hit fades/slices and want to stop hitting fades/slices with that stick "under" your plane.

So I need to be this instead -

I don't recommend anyone really hit balls with a stick behind the ball like that, because if the shaft comes down on the stick, there goes your club (shaft).

I'd just post some new swings with good camera angles and no sticks:

Thanks...You can take this thread down and i'll re-record with better angles.

No need to take it down. Just continue to use this topic when you get more video(s).

Below are re-recorded videos hopefully at a better angle.

For the down the line shot, have the camera lined up on your toe line.
