Since hitting golf balls regularly for the first time for the last couple of months i have noticed that i consistently slice the ball. Initially my drives were fairly straight but the last several times I have played a round of hit at the driving range it has been more duck hooks than anything. Wedges and 9 iron are fairly straight but 6-8 all hook fairly regularly. I took some videos and then stills of those videos and am trying to see what is mechanically wrong with my swing causing me to hook so often. I have been trying to force my hips to slide forward and not let my hands go in front and occasionally will overcompensate and slice. I have 2 videos, one of 8 iron and the other with driver with full speed swings followed by the swing in slow motion and then stills of at the top of the swing and right before and after impact. Any analysis or advice is greatly appreciated!! [VIDEO] [/VIDEO] [VIDEO] [/VIDEO]

try a drill known as towel under both armpits and start by hitting short irons and build up to driver. This will help you get on a better swing plane and stay more connected. good luck!

Dont try to consciously try to square the face at impact. this mindset is keeping you from lagging properly and slicing the ball instead. You said that you also ocassionally hook it with this swing, I presume it is because of that out to in movement. Try to rotate your lower body when you start the downswing and let the weight of the club roll over your arms naturally. Just my two cents. Your swing looks to have a lot of potential though :)

I am not a pro or nothing and you may have a better swing than me already but I agree with this. Your right arm definitely seems to get too far away from your body in you downswing. Your head also looks pretty tucked in but maybe mine is just too up lol.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.

      Day 18: drill swing in my garage after getting home from work.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
