I have always fought a slice with my driver. With my irons I am able to limit my OTT swing and am getting more consistent with them. However, I can't figure out how to translate that swing to my driver. Recently, I have just been setting up on the right side of the tee box in a closed stance, aiming my shoulders well to the right. I then swing what feels "normal" to me. This doesn't always work, as I will still fade it a bit or hook it as well. But it seems to be a little more consistent as far as finding the fairway. I know this is not ideal, but I don't know how to fix it. Any tips on tweaking this setup or anything else that you guys feel might be worth a try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,.

    • Woof. Not good. 8:40 to 8:50, blah. I know the grip is turned a bit to the left in that part of the video (face is closed a bit), but… no. Not that.
    • Eh. You're tricking yourself. You can still miss right or left, and what you've created is a situation where you HAVE to miss (but the right amount) to make the putt. That's not for me.
    • I can see a point in this.  If you play a straigth 3 footer with a square face aiming at the hole, you can miss both ways, with a close face or an open one. If you aim rigth an close the face at impact (like tiger used to do), physically you can still miss left or rigth but mentally you are only missing left (closed face) and having only 1 miss can give you a boost in confidence. I putt this way on fade putts and aim left and open the face on draw putts, never liked the uncerteinty of putting square to the target.  I apply something like this on approach shots, only use low or high shots and for middle shots I use a low shot with more loft ot a high shot with less loft. This shots are always what they meat low or high, a middle one can go a little towards the high and the low depending on the AoA of each shot making it mentally a little more uncertain what is going to be.  
    • Yeah, I'm not sure if he is genuine or not either but that's not why I'm giving him props.
