hi, I'm pretty new here I have been looking around for a few months but I have been playing regularly about a year now. I shoot on average about mid 90s latley and im confident if I fix my driver I can take several strokes off. For the most part I hit my irons consistently, I have a natural slight fade with them but can hit a slight draw by keeping a square club face and slightly moving my feet alignment. My issue is with my driver, I occasionally can hit it sort of straight, either slight draw or slight fade but most of the time I have a what I believe a slice it starts out straight than slices right hard, sometimes in the rough sometimes the hole to the right fairway, wOuld this primarily be caused by club face issue or swing path... I am still trying to learn what causes ball flight laws but is taking some time to grasp, any tips or drills to try would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue when i first started. I fixed it... and now for some reason I have it again. The first time I fixed it because my grip wasn't good. My club head was open at impact. So switched grips and i was nailing them down the fair way so take a look at that..

Once I fixed my grip I started hooking the ball hard which again was a grip problem (my club head was closed at impact). So now i`m back to slicing the ball and i think it has to do with my over swing path haha.. Good luck


I shoot 90's and the occassional 80's . I recently and finally learned to cure my slice by rolling my wrists on impact with my driver. It took of time and practice to get comfortable with my timing but the results have been amazing. Ive learned by doing this I can add a slight fade that works great on doglegs or just crush it straight depending on the how hard I roll my wrists. Its worth a shot.

    • Day 308 - Worked on putting my grip/backswing work together with some better hip rotation in the downswing. 
    • Day 124: went to the range at lunch. Worked on driver and getting feels for a shorter backswing. It feels like I’m taking a half swing, but it looks pretty decent on camera. 
    • Day 49 - 2024-11-18 Light day of HackMotion work in the basement with my putting. Suffice to say my feels very closely align with what is measured.
    • Day 200 (18 Nov 24) - Broke out the MacGregor blades to do some “vintage” club pitches and chips.  Focus was on alignment and where I am looking in relation to the ball…have been working on finding a focal point about 3-6 inches ahead of the ball (toward the target) and not staring at the ball.  Getting very predictable strikes.  Overall it was a fun drill session and will serve as a warmup to tomorrow’s planned front 9 walk with these irons and persimmon woods and of course a “new” putter - a Acushnet Bullseye…
