I've been Playing Golf for: 15 years or so
My current handicap index or average score is: not sure
My typical ball flight is: average
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice

I have always had an over the top swing. I've learned to play with it but would like to improve on it and perform better.

Almost everyone's hands are higher at impact. If not having higher hands at impact was a goal, you could just set up differently, but make the same exact swing… right? So that doesn't mean much on its own.


However, I would still fix your setup. You're very bent in the knees and your hands are very very close to you.

Thank you so much for the info. Just from reading through that and what you have said, I can see a lot that I need to work on. Thanks again!
