Hey guys, found this forum and would love any advice. I'm a tennis player trying to get into golf. Enjoying it but have no idea what to work on when I hit balls at the moment. I think I'm coming too far inside on the downswing and my hands have to compensate but I'm not sure about that or how to fix it. 

I've been Playing Golf for: not sure, only consistently for a few months
My current handicap index or average score is: mid 20s
My typical ball flight is: straight or slice
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice

Welcome to The Sand Trap. You will need to upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo for it to embed. Also, review the article below about how to film. For the down the line shots, you want it to line up on your toe line. Your swing looks pretty decent for a beginner.

With that in mind, check out the drills in this thread below. They are a wealth of information on the full swing and short game. If you film the drills, post them here for help and review.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
