First off, i have a big fade/slice, usually aim left side fairway and goes just in the right rough.
I dont think im coming over the top since ball goes straight, then curves.
I go past parallel on my backswing, not by much though, kinda like mickelsons old swing, and my swing is farely aggresive and i cant square the face cause my hands lag behind i think, whats a drill or cure for this.
i would try to rip your right arm through the ball, this should promote that draw or straight shot, you may hit the ball a tad lower but this should work if your swing path is correct
try a stronger grip. If that doesn't work, keep your shoulders square and move u back foot backwards. Then lay a club down to make sure ur feet are pointing right, but keep ur shoulders square.
Check you spine angle at address. How is your posture? If you too straight up and address you will end up with a shallow takeaway that will in turn cause your stance to be open at impact and cause the straight shot that turns into a slice.

You're doing precisely what you don't think you're doing.
Hrer's a drill I was given to get the cluhead square at impact.
Practice Drill.
A good practice drill for curing the slice is to slowly take the club away from the ball and bring it back slowly and STOP the swing at Impact. You’ll then feel the way the club should be coming into the ball. Keep doing this until you can see the club head square at impact. This is known as ‘The Feel’. Don’t let your hands get in front of the ball.

Thanks Nike, this actually really helped me alot.
Also, Ringer, what did you mean by your comment.
i did the ripping your arm through thing for a while on a driver, it went stright, but my arm died after 4 holes and i had to use a 6 iron and a 3 wood for the rest of the round
yeah, im young so i can handle it,
but Nike, can you explain how to rip your right arm more, i think im doing it right but im not 100% sure what you mean.
^^^ basically with all my shots, im throwing my right arm towards the target at impact (which in turn rotates the clubface through the ball possibly slightly closing the face causing a slight draw), by doing this im getting a full release of the club.. and also make sure your plane is correct, because if you come over the top and do this you will hit a huge pull
Start out in a chipping type swing while coming through with a square club face and gradually take bigger swing each time coming through until it becomes a habit.
