I think the spinning out is more due to the shoes. I've gone out to the range in tennis shoes and do the same thing.

In the last video you posted, how was your ball flight? I struggled with hooks, pulls, pull hooks (still do but much less so now) and there are a couple of things that helped me. Two of the biggies that helped was alignment and shortening my swing. I know you said it's tough when you focus on not going past parallel but it really puts you in a bad spot in the downswing. Have you tried opening up your stance just a bit?

The spin out was definitely increased due to the shoes. This day at the range I was hitting straight shots and push draws. Couldn't really complain about flight today but even when I'm hitting them good I'm trying to continue to work on making my bad shots not that bad. After watching the video though the next big thing is opening my stance a little bit some I'm squared. I tell you though I definitely don't feel like I'm as steep as I once was. I'm going to the course tomorrow to see what I got.

First comment, your mechanics are all really good. I especially like how you keep your backswing on a really good plane. You should be working out the details with a good teaching pro at this point. This forum has a lot of good tips and a lot of opinionated junk. Not always easy to tell which is which. Good luck.

In your latest video, your downswing definitely looks on-plane to me, so good work on that.

I'm surprised nobody has commented on your take-away yet, though! You're taking the club straight back from the ball without flexing the right arm or cocking the left wrist until the club is already way back behind you. This gets the club inside on the take-away (which you seem to be correcting at the top, and coming down on-plane), but more relevantly to your pull problem, it means the club face is very closed for the backswing. Maybe someone with more expertise can back me up on this, but I think that's where your pulls, pull-draws, and pull-fades are coming from. Correct that club face, and I think you've got straight shots or slight fades.
