The title says it all. I haven't been playing for a very long time, however I have never struggled with a slice until recently. Not sure what I need to do..... [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p6r2gIQiOM&feature;=youtube_gdata_player[/VIDEO] ^ my swing

Hello Alex,

I am in no-way a professional, so my words are....just that words and thoughts

Anyway, I feel that I have gone through a similar problem.  First I would check your grip, then make sure your club head is not opening before contact.

A temporary or permanent way to solve this issue is to have the bottom edge of your drivers face touching the ground at the start of your backswing.  Or another way to describe it -  have the very bottom tip of your driver's face touching the ground - which should make the butt end of the drivers tip to become pointed up (how much it should be pointed up is a trial and error thing you'll have to work on) ; in the video you have the butt of the drive just sitting down.  So set up as normal and just twist the club a bit in your normal stance and swing through.

This will help you hit them much straighter... as long as you keep your swing on plane.

If this works for you than you may not be rotating your wrist enough during your downswing.  I would shoot some video to show your arms, hips and wrist during the downswing. Something major to note , if you start rotating your wrists properly than you'll start hitting line drives with the above information; once line drives start this is the indicator to start swing the old way.

Let me know if this makes any sense and if it helps in any way shape or form...if not then no harm no foul.

two suggestions. Get some video from the caddie few. I would also find something that can play the video in slow motion. I've seen people post links that will show how to do this.

As for what you have recorded, it looks like your tempo is off. your hips are almost done with their motion by time your arms move. I wonder if you're forcing the arms through there leaving your hands open at contact.

Other than that I didn't see much that looked wrong. But this is also coming from someone that just picked up the game this year, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

    • I have a putting mat in my office. It's 9 feet long almost 4 feet wide. I've drawn a line down it in order to practice hitting my line and stuff. Works fine for what it is.  While I'm not a fan of lining up a line on my golfball for every putt. I think for practice sessions it can have a lot of value.  To me this product makes sense. This is the first time I've seen it. It showed up as an add on the right side of the TST webpage. What do you all think? PuttAIM Laser Training Aid Get ready to dominate the greens like never before. PuttAIM Golf is a golf putting aid that uses laser technology to help you improve your game. This device works to ensure your putts are aligned properly and on track...  
    • Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.
    • Welcome to TST @Camjr.   We're glad you've joined.  
    • Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.
    • Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,
