I've been Playing Golf for: 20 Years, (12 Years competitively)

My current handicap index or average score is: 3.5

My typical ball flight is: Baby fade

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

Basically, all my life I've gone back and forth between a draw and fade.  Currently i'm hitting a 5-10 yard fade, with every club except for 8-iron and below (9-Pw etc.), to which I basically hit dead straight, if not a 2-yard fade. When I watch the video below, I see an obvious "over-the-top" motion at the beginning of my down swing.  I'm currently working on keeping the club on the same plane that I take it back on, or even just drop it inside the plane slightly.  Anyone see any red flags?

(I also suggest watching the video(s) in the highest quality available and in full-screen.

huh... weird... well... last time I was fitted for my driver I had a 116MPH swing speed.. and I haven't let up since then.. so you think i'm taking the club back at 120MPH It might just be the video quality but how does the swing plane look to you?

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
