I've been Playing Golf for: 12 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 12
My typical ball flight is: Pull or Slice with the driver. Cant hit a 3 wood off the deck at all. 
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: All bad shots. Trying to get my swing on plane and not come over the top. 


Videos: 

Sorry about the terrible video location. Its 22 degrees here right now the ranges are closed.

I have been working on my early extension and over the top move I have had for 12 years.  

I also tend to get flat with my shoulder plane in the back swing. 

I feel like my right hip goes to far back at the top of my back swing but not sure it just looks off.

My goal is to get a good swing that is on plane. 

Thanks for any tips or advice.

Pretty flat shoulder turn… Can you see the ball from here?

Are you left eye dominant?

I'm not sure if I'm left or right eye dominate. 

I can still see the ball.. Only out of my left eye.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
