I just got off the golf course. This was my 8th time on a course and I hit my career best, an 83. My short game is amazing. If it is withing 150yds I dominate, but my problem is when I hit my driver or woods, everything I hit goes to the left. I am a lefty and it slices very hard. Sometimes I hit it straight other times it goes by by into the other fairway. I was just confused because my irons I hit perfectly straight and I swing the same exact way. I have a callaway 460 driver. If you could give me some suggestions to help or why you think why please let me know. Maybe I will just take a video of my swing in the backyard. Thanks

Theres a few things that may be the answer to your major slice. Way over bending your elbows, or out to in swing, or opening your face club. A video would help very much for a good analysis.

You're very upright, you have no spine tilt what-so-ever. Which can also result in your shoulders hunching upwards and restrict your swing. You have the perfect setup as far as your arms and forearms go, nice and straight forming a triangle with your arms and shoulders.

Also, If you are fit enough to do so, and looking for distance, try and take the club back all the way so it is paralell to the ground.

Just a few pointers.

Like Dent said your posture is off as seen in the down the line view. In the face on view it looks like you may have to narrow a stance (hindering balance), and too forward of a ball position (partly responsible for your offline shots). I recommend you work on getting good body angles with your driver setup. Study the setup of pros (like in the picture below), and try to emulate them. With shorter irons you probably have better angles which is why you say you hit them better.

In my bag:

Driver: Burner TP 8.5*
Fairway metals/woods: Burner TP 13* Tour Spoon, and Burner TP 17.5*
Irons: RAC MB TP Wedges: RAC TPPutter: Spider Ball: (varies ) (Most of the time): TP Red or HX Tour/56---------------------------------------------------
