I've been Playing Golf for: 4-5 Months (started in April)

My current handicap index or average score is: My most recent score is a 102 :/

My typical ball flight is: Not great loft, also not the distance I want.

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: The slight slice I get sometimes.


Videos: I decided to list these from June - Now to show you how my swing has changed.

Thanks for posting @DevonteGray

That is a pretty nice swing for a new golfer! You are coming a little over the top on the slice videos. I'm not sure of the cause but have asked the site instructors to take a look.

In the meantime, check out these threads.

I would get a bit more relaxed in your set up. Look at Tiger on the right. He's a bit more over the ball. His butt is sticking out less. His back is not ram rod straight. His looking down at the ball more. His arms are relaxed underneath him.

I would also say your grip looks overly strong. I would take a look at this thread,

I would look into flaring your feet outward more. It just helps with making a better turn.

Honestly you have a lot good going for you.

I would take a look at this thread on how to get more a centered pivot. Let those hips work better.

Welcome to the site @DevonteGray , I'd focus on two things for now.

- Turning your feet out at address, check out the thread @saevel25 shared.

- Working on getting your weight/lower body more forward on the downswing. This will help you hit the ball more solid and swing more outward/less across the ball so you can get rid of those slices.
