I'd like to get some ideas on what is going wrong with my swing. I have seeing a right to left (fade) trajectory and this is what's happening with my driver lately. All my other clubs have my natural baby draw but for some reason, I'm struggling with a fade/slice with the driver. Here's a link to my swing: What is the cause of the problem? Thanks for the help.

I have trouble with this too, I cast my hands out from the top cutting across the ball, maybe because i'm trying to hit it harder.

It would be nice if you would cut out the extremely long times between each swing, it would certainly make more people want to help you, most people will probably shut it off by the time you take your first swing. Maybe a slow motion version too so I don't have to download it and slow it down myself.

And just to help you not get this deleted, I believe this type of post is supposed to go in a thread called My Swing (yourname), but i could be wrong.

:whistle:

Thanks for the suggestions jshots. I'm going to do what you suggested and edit the first post if I'm still in time.

so basically what's happening is you're losing your inclination(spine angle), straightening up and it's making you push slice the ball out left. keep your back foot down and don't let your chest rise up and bring you out of the shot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had noticed that when looking at the video, but didn't know if that was a cause of the slice or a result of something else. I'll work on that tomorrow morning before my round and hopefully I'll finally be able to hit my driver well.

yeah... your body is getting in the way of where your arms are supposed to go. since they cannot occupy the same space, the arms go out and left. so you're left with two choices, push slice it or flip hook it.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
