I dont really understand the rules here I guess...I thought this was instruction and tips section...does that mean only to give instruction and tips and not ask for them?...asking that as a genuine question not trying to be a smartass...just was looking for tips about why im slicing

Maybe forearm to club shaft angle too straight there?

Wow...yeah sure does look wide open in that picture

This drive went dead straight.. [video]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=00SXYuL65dQ[/video] And this one sliced pretty bad... [VIDEO]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yRHTzvsmhis[/VIDEO] Can anyone tell me why?

I'm pretty happy anytime the ball lands in the fairway with the driver. I'd imagine the average fairway would be about 40 yards wide? So, if I'm aimed down the middle and the ball ends up 20 yards left then that's still on the edge of the fairway so that's why i said hooking a bit. I'm not sure with what the exact definitions of golf terms are but I think of a hook as a real bad shot that ends up well off the fairway. Advice sounds pretty good though.

They started out straight and probably would have ended up 20 yards left of the target line

I went to the range today and just focused on getting deeper hands...hit 30 balls with the driver...started out still slicing...middle of the bucket was hitting them dead straight...by the end of the bucket I was actually starting to hook the ball (although not very drastic)...hit a couple irons afterward and they were hooking a bit too...i imagine this might be fairly expected considering the adjustment was just being made?

So it seems like this is more of a timing of the wrists issue? At least for my situation?...I'm assuming my swing path is not really a problem...here is the dilemma I seem to face...I know that in order to get the right swing path I have to kind of feel my arms drops down (into the slot as they say) and this feeling is kind of counter-intuitive to releasing earlier (at least for me)...as in I feel like if im rolling my wrists over earlier then im not dropping into the slot properly...anyone have a similiar issue or advice on that?

Should be fixed now

Thanks, good Idea. Posted videos on the my swing thread. Link is below.... http://thesandtrap.com/t/75677/my-swing-vikinghammer

I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years My current handicap index or average score is: Avg score 45/90 My typical ball flight is: Low irons have low trajectory, medium/high irons is much higher The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice Vid eos:

Thanks for the input...yeah thats roughly about impact..im not actually hitting a ball there that was a practice swing...but yes my drives end up at least 50 yards right of the whole fairway most of the time...ive only been playing about two years so obviously so just getting the basics of technique down...from everything thing I read or watch about slicing it seems they always say the two biggest problems would be coming over the top or your grip...I dont think I am coming over the top and ive made my grip real strong(V's pointing to right shoulder) and it makes no difference

Hey guys, Looking for some help with the driver. I can't stop slicing the ball and it doesn't seem to me that I'm doing any of the obvious things wrong associated with slicing (coming over the top) and I'm slicing it very badly...like 75% of the time and I'm talking about 50 yards right at least (going right and curving right). I took some screen shots from a video of my swing. Looking for some tips on what could be going so wrong... Backswing Downswing roughly impact Release
