I was slicing like this until I adjusted my grip. I rotated my right hand a little to the left so my thumb was across the shaft and not pointing straight down the shaft. Started hitting much straighter. Feels awkward at first. That's a terrible description I know so it might be worth looking up youtube vids on hand grip placement. ▶ this video ▶ this video

Your right hand should NOT be underneath the club grip. ▶ this video

Your face is open because of how your hands are on the club You can't turn your arms over and close it because the hands are in a weak position. You need tk make the grip rotated stronger ▶ this video Yours are way way off to his so you can't close the face
