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.

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.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
