I've been Playing Golf for: 1.5 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 90
My typical ball flight is: Slice
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Hitting the ball thin or fat, slice, improve distance (5 iron goes 150 carry)

I appreciate any tips or help. Thank you.

Hey Charlie, that’s a great first post. I’m sure someone will direct you to the camera angle instructions in that it should be higher (more even with your waist). You do a nice job with your head being steady with a centered turn. I’m not sure where the more golf savvy folks will have you start with your initial priority piece, but I notice your stance is a little narrow and you’re hinging your wrist at the very beginning of your takeaway.

Just a couple of things I noticed for now, you shouldn’t point your knees inward so much at address and don’t pull the club head inside in the takeaway.

You're going to want to take some better videos, preferably outside with better lighting at the proper angles so we can see more of what’s going on.

Also, for the love of that beautiful hardwood floor, stop hitting it with golf clubs 😃

    • This video got into my youtube feed. And I watched it.  But I'm confused why not spinning in "the revealer" is important to making putts.  Maybe I'm oversimplifying this, but it seems to me, your hands are holding the putter. So, it isn't going to spin when you swing it. The ball isn't that heavy so as to overpower my hands when I don't hit it dead center. If the ball was so heavy as to overpower my hands when I don't hit it dead center, than certainly it would be heavy enough to overpower the lie-angle balance, right?  Don't get me wrong. I like the demo. It's something they can show people and say "Look our putter is different." But the more I think about it the less I think this feature matters.  I have an open mind, however.  Let me know if there's really a benefit to this that I just don't understand.     
    • Welcome to the TST.  I always suggest that everyone starts a MySwing thread.  Have fun, enjoy the forum.  
    • Those are good. But they are like the Dan Marino of cookies, The Oatmeal Raisin is the Tom Brady of cookies. ... IMO ... 👍😜👍 Eh... I'll make the black and white cookie the Vinnie Testaverde of cookies. 👍👍... Once again, this is my opinion. 
    • Do you have another son-in-law that you don't really like?  The answer to your question IMO is lessons. Many others have mentioned why.  BUT...... If you son in law is abnormally tall, or abnormally short, or has super long arms or super short legs or something like that, then at least a static fitting would be wise.  Having said that, just because lessons are likely to give him more improvement than new fitted clubs, doesn't mean you shouldn't give him the gift of new fitted clubs. There will still be some benefit there, plus, going through a fitting and getting shiny new clubs is fun. ... And golf should be fun. 
    • Love me some Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. but it still comes in second to the Black and White (Half-Moon) cookie
