Both of those swings above were completely, unusable slices.

Since those videos above were filmed I've been doing a lot of of work with videos, and swing plain stuff using lines and what not.

Video from Yesterday:

Yesterday, at that range, I was hitting mostly small fades. But that particular swing was a huge pull/hook that almost made it to the road.

So please tell me what you think, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Edit: Im not finishing completely on my left foot becuase I sprained my ankle playing basketball about a week ago, and it's still rather tender. I just open my foot slightly more and it makes for an easier weight transfer.

Well, personally I feel that your setup in the first two videos is far better. Face on, your stance was a bit narrow, but overall it's a more athletic posture.

Now, you're standing a very long way from the ball with locked knees and what looks like your weight on your heels. I'd like to see you a bit closer to it with some knee flex, and your weight more balanced over your feet.

Ok, you are still over the top. Going back, you're very flat. As you are standing so far away from the ball, the natural motion would be for you to swing around your body. From a flat postion at the top, it's difficult to drop the club and swing from the inside without other corrections later on in your swing.

You need to take the club back on a steeper plane and drop the club down and swing from the inside

To give you an idea, watch this vid of Garcia. He has a very exaggerated loop at the top of his backswing which you don't want to emulate, but because of that, it's easier to see what I'm talking about. Rickie Fowler is another one with a very similar move

You can see he takes it back on a steep plane, and when he gets to the top, his first movement is his hips starting to unwind and his hands dropping under the plane of his backswing. When you compare it to your swing, you'll notice that your first move is your shoulders starting to unwind. This leads to your hands swinging down above the plane of your backswing, or 'over the top'

Try the Pump drill, it's a fairly common tool for helping understand how your arms should move at the beginning of the downswing

After you watch the start of that video to see the actual drill, watch from 2:30, it shows you a bit about OTT
