I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 20.2
My typical ball flight is: straight or slight fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push fade/slice

 

Hey guys new poster here! Just wondering if anyone could have a look at my swing videos and give me some tips. I was hitting a nice little fade with my irons but lately I've been push fading my iron shots mainly from 8 iron up, wedges and 9 iron are pretty straight. Driver is ok but I hit it low and have a large fade which on occasion will be a large slice. And as for the hybrid I will usually hook it like a bitch!! Any tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance everyone.

Your film angles are a bit off, so it is hard to really get a good look. For Down-the-line, have the camera lined up with your foot line in the left photo. For face-on, aim it square at the ball.

I do see you are coming over the top a bit. The angle is off, so it looks more pronounced than it really is. Below, at A6, you can see the head is outside the hands, which indicates an outside in path.

At A5, you are looking pretty good. The shaft is not too steep.

This face on view at A4, shows you are swaying back a bit. You want to work on a centered hip turn. This helps you get your weight to go forward on the downswing properly. Check out the thread below.

At impact, your weight is forward, and your not casting, which is good, so the path is the only thing I see that needs tweaking. Centering your hip turn in the back swing may help.

Again, check out that thread and try the drills. Post updates with better filming angles when you can.
