ayouden, your swing is looking better.  The head looks better to me. Here is a video that should help you...  Watch the models left shoulder turn (on the back swing).  Then - this is very impor

Possibly my last post on this, but a few videos to illustrate what i've been saying.  This guy on youtube has done some interesting videos on the backswing, and the different options for it. Th

I may not be the right person to answer this since I have troubles with it myself. Was just analyzing my own swing and can post that pic.

You see my right elbow is problably at the right spot, but my shaft is too horizontal and not vertical enough. You can see it easy on the hands and see what's necessary for me to do to get to grants position. To not rotate my hands so much I believe.

Here's some possible reasons why you could be slicing:

You raise your spine angle during downswing.

You flip the club after impact you're not maintaining flat left wrist.

What I think you need is more secondary axis tilt and more hip slide. Watch this movie. And try to get to that reversed C position at impact with extended arms into the finish.

i do the same thing!

UPDATE:

All my shots I hit on the driving range today was a massive slice... Started straight and drifted right.

Now you come over the top, which is definitly causing that slice. You see on grant he gets his hands from his right shoulder and down, it goes a little out towards the ball but not much. In your case the hands go to much out from the body to the ball but not down so much, this causes the over the top move.

Ayouden, as nevrino pointed out... You are coming over the top - thus hitting the slice.  Try focusing on going back to the start of the swing... By going back to the mechanics of A1 (address) to A2 (club shaft parallel to the ground).  If you look at the mocked up photo, you are coming above the shaft line (at address).  This is part of your problem.

Try getting your right arm takeaway to be more 'back and in' and less 'back and up' as you currently have it from A1 to A2.  Meaning - don't bend the right elbow so much... Make sure you take that club back away on the inside more.  Remember to pull that left arm across your chest with the right arm - but start the back swing with your hands lower - and the right forearm taking the hands more inside.

Just had my lesson today with the Pro, and the ball goes straight now! We mainly worked on keeping my height throughout the swing and not over swinging. Also using my chest to hit the ball and move the chest before the hips!

Here is the new swing. Just need to slowly crank up the power!

Beachcomber is right regarding your takeaway, ayouden.

You are losing connection and plane right away.  You need to take it back more inside whilst keeping the clubhead outside your hands.  Take it inside whilst keeping the left wrist 'in'.  By keeping the left wrist 'in' not only will you retain connection and get to A2 correctly, but also as you keep hinging it from A2 onwards, it will help you hinge it more vertically, up the right forearm.

Looking better.  The club shaft needs to get more vertical at A3.  But the start-up from A1 to A2 looks better for sure.

My instructor insists that once the shaft goes below the right forearm then the swing is lost.  So he wouldn't like ayouden's takeaway-to-halfway back at all.  He's trying to iron this out of my swing.  That's practically all we're working on right now.

I disagree with Beachcomber.  Unfortunately I have to say I don't think ayouden's A1 to A2 move is on the right track at all, and it greatly contributes to his very flat inside shaft plane very shortly after it.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.
