is this the reason for my "slice"??

[threejack]

So i talked with my sister who is a local pro at the country club here and we have agreed and come to the conclusion of what may be causing my driver problems. MY TEMPO!

Before I go on I want to stress that my "slice" is actually a big push with fade. My path is inside out (I know this because I hit every club 60 degree through 3 wood dead straight, occasionally a nice little push draw).

I have been swinging my driver "harder" thinking that its the stiff flex shaft causing the slice. However, my tempo with the driver tends to be jerky when I try to swing harder. Well we all know that can hurt club head speed (MEDICUS DRIVER?).

I will be working on my tempo and letting the club reach the top before I start my downswing. I will also work on accelerating it through the arc than forcing the club head speed.

CAN YOU GUYS confirm that this could cause that big push fade and hurt distance?

If you're ruining your swing, it's probably on the backswing by the sound of it. I doubt you take the same backswing with the driver as you do with the other sticks, so try getting yourself on video and take a really close look at your timing. And make sure you take a good weight shift and turn, and follow through. I have that same miss when I get lazy; don't think the swing is over after impact, and don't half ass your setup and backswing.

Ahhhh, tempo.

No, it's unlikely tempo is causing your problems. We almost never see people with wildly different tempos with the driver than other clubs (it happens, but rarely). How about some video?

Ya I'll take video next time I'm hitting balls. Basically I am swinging now rather than hitting. I've never felt so loose and I think good things are coming from that because I feel things differently. I can now feel that my hands don't drop into the slot and definitely come out to in so I'm going to try to get rid of that habit. Damn muscle memory.

Ill get some nice hd vids up asap!
