I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years on off

My current handicap index or average score is: 100+

My typical ball flight is: Slice/topped ball

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Slice/top ball


Fist shot I topped the ball.

Second shot was great contact but had a slice on it

Third shot started great but couldn't get over a tree so not sure of path

Fourth shot was almost perfect ball flight

And last is the first shot I took but in slow motion.

These shot are all on different holes, not one hole.

Going to feel very awkward at first but it will help. There is some stuff going on in the back swing that is making it very hard to perform a solid downswing consistently.

On the back swing the hips are sliding back.  The feet being too square at set-up is part of the problem, not allowing your hips to turn.

My recommendation to make it easier to get the weight forward at impact.

Yes may not look like a lot but it will FEEL like a lot.  Turn them out a decent amount, like I said 25 degrees.  I wouldn't worry about whether the club is going back too far, if it looks long it's just a reaction to what the pivot is doing.  Again the hips slide back, gotta do something to feel like you make a "full" turn.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • 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.
