I feel like i use the right hand/arm quite alot in the swing, iv been told that i should be using the left hand/arm to pull the club into the ball to create more lag and get the club comin down on a better plane! i have a tendancy to slice the driver, would this be the reason why??!! any help would be greatly appreciated...

You don't create lag be pulling the left arm down, it is created by the rotation of the body. You want to have soft and passive hands/wrists and arms. You slice the ball, straight slice, starts straight then go's right because the face is open to the path and you are swinging out-to-in(OTT). If you are hitting the ball to the right then going right then you might need to strengthen your grip.

There are a few threads to look at.

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
