I've been Playing Golf for: since young but i haven't played seriously in over 5 years and want to get back into it.
My current handicap index or average score is: I dont have a handicap but i would be around 9.
My typical ball flight is: used to be a slice/fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: 

Basically i found out my swing path was -14 degrees when looking at some new clubs as i wanted to get back into the game. It was clear i was coming over the top visually and my bad shot was a slice. After some research it became apparent i was not using my lower body enough and my head was moving forward. Therefore i've started to feel like i am using my lower body more to start the downswing. I'm not fully there yet but i'm slowly getting there.

The only problem now is i am now hooking the ball due to my new swing plane. Do you have any tips to help with this?

    • Day 6 - Went to TopGolf with the family, got to hit driver for the first time in a while. Tried transferring what I’ve been working on to the driver, as best I could while playing the games the kids picked. 
    • Day 233: did a stack session. 
    • Failed to hit “done” on yesterday’s post - so we start over as that’s two missed posts in the last couple of weeks.   Day 1 (9 Mar 25) - Some 50° wedge fun this afternoon in the backyard.  Worked on making smooth swings with good torso rotation - really zeroing in where I wanted the ball to land AND then making sure I watched the ball leave before looking up as the swing finished.  The latter focal point is one that has begun to pay as I’m seeing better green side accuracy - more up and downs made.
    • Just had a club event and played 5 nine hole matches. Shot 39-36-37-35-40. Just a really good weekend of golf even though the last 9 was a struggle to swing the club the last 5 holes. The highlight was a turkey to cap off a match for a tie. 
    • Day 160 - 2025-03-09 Got some work in after a long day. Only about 15 minutes and only about 21 golf balls, but… They were focused on the backswing with a pause, then a decent bit on the downswing.
