Hi all, 
I've been Playing Golf for:
 23 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 13 handicap
My typical ball flight is: Low Draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Fading and Push Fade/Slice


Videos: 

I've been using a Honma year 1991 blade for 10+ years before finally switching to a more forgiving set of irons, the Mizuno JPX 900 Tour. 

My thought process was I was able to play blades well enough, why not switch to a more forgiving iron and perhaps play better. 

Turns out the blade had more offset than the JPX 900 and somehow, I've started to fade/push slice the ball while seemingly keeping my swing the same. 

For 2 months now, even my driver has been affected and I can't get back my old swing. 

Very frustrating to watch such ugly ball flight and losing distance on top of that. Messes up all my distance gauging decisions. 

I used to hit a low to mid draw with a lot of spin, and now it's constantly fading and at the worst case, a push fade/Slice. 

Can't enjoy the game as I used to until I get this fixed. Heelpppppppp :(

We'd love to, but better camera angles help. I can't say much about ball position, whether the plane is steep/shallow, etc. from those angles.

P6:  Hands a bit high here. 

Inside pretty early here.

For a short club like this ... could you be closer to the ball ?   So your arms hang straight down ?   The closer your hands are to your body, the harder it is to snatch the club inside, non ?

Does your rear leg straighten early and hard as you slide a bit ?

Club certainly looks inside early.  shoulders really open for this early in the swing, non ?

Overswing here ?   This seems typical for someone who is inside really early.

I don't like how you lose the tush line either.

In General in the DS, you want the left buttcheek moving back to where the right buttcheek ended up at the end of the backswing.

Try to keep the clubs the same in the FO and DTL views ! 

Just random thoughts.
