I've been Playing Golf for: 12 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 85-95
My typical ball flight is: high right
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice 

So I'm 18, I've been playing golf since I was a little kid but only have started taking it seriously for the last year or so. I started with a severe over the top which caused a slice (probably due to my background in cricket) which I managed to "fix" although ended up then coming too far from the inside and hitting pushes and hooks. Suddenly I went back to hitting a slighter slice and my irons were consistently topped or "over drew" (more like a weak slice). I practice at the range almost every day and play every other day. I've been increasingly frustrated by the temperamental nature of my swing and have been close to giving up on the game. I just went to see an instructor for the first time (who I wasn't a big fan of) and he helped me a bit with my takeaway (as it was getting the head of the club behind me too much), and strengthened my grip a bit although for the money i spent, that's as far as we got. 

 

I'm really hoping that I can save some money and get some educated advice on where I'm going wrong and possibly be directed to some resources (youtube or other) that may help. I suspect already that my stance is slightly narrow and I don't close the face properly. If more videos are needed especially of my irons, I can add some, although i thought i would start with the biggest issue which is my driver. 

 

I apologise for the poor quality videos, hopefully they show enough.

I'm no instructor so I won't try to give advice as I'm still working on my flaws, but as far as instructional content you will find everything you need here. Start with the 5sk videos you will find in the instructional content section and then there is a host of other great material in that section that contain everything you need to improve your game. Good luck!

    • @jxdama: Same dumb schtick since joining. Yup. Also, it's a par-73.
    • Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.
    • OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?     
    • I wont  comment further except to say maybe we  can get a  -40 winner soon on these tests  of golf  skill     Hideki Matsuyama runs away with The Sentry, breaks scoring record to open new PGA Tour season Hideki Matsuyama picked up his 11th PGA career win on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.  
    • Day 4 - Had aspirations for range work but a family activity went a lot longer than expected. So 6 minutes of mirror work, feeling good about weight shift back and transition forward.
