I struggled all day today with my driver. I just kept slicing the ball most of the day. Once or twice in a round, but today was horrible. I just couldn't release the club, I always had my right palm up through the ball. I have a three day weekend and this is not how i wanted to start it off with, a 96!

It's okay, we all have those kind of days.

What's important is to put that round behind you and focus on doing better for the next round.

So, did the ball start right and continue to turn, or did it start straight or left, then turn right?


if theres a evil club for me it's my driver. I've got to keep that club in play in order for me to have decent round. Im fighting this one club way to much. maybe playing the ball to back in my stance causing me to leave the club open and causing the slick...guess we'll find tomorrow with results...

Back of the stance would result in a hook most of the time. It sounds to me like an over the top move. 99% of slices occur with the face closed or square, not open. If the face is open, the ball starts dead right, and turns even farther right. It's

very rare to actually push-fade a driver badly, and at an 18 handicap, the over the top slice is very common. Add:

That's most definitely an over the top slice. It's literally

impossible for the ball to start straight and turn right with an in to out or even a straight club path. An open club with a straight path is going to start the ball to the right. In your case, the face is probably square, or slightly left, but the path is well out to in to cause it to curve so hard right.

Your probably right, i have to figure out how to get my swing back.
