I've been Playing Golf for: 2-3 months My current handicap index or average score is: 20-25 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: a baaaad slice [rule] Videos: [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/gq9zohhlDGc[/VIDEO] This is the only video I had. It was before my first round. I know it's not down the line or face on but can you see anything wrong?

Hi, welcome to the site.  part of the reason your path is across the ball is because your pivot isn't very dynamic on the backswing. Body is kind of static resulting in very little rotation. I would recommend feeling the left knee continues to gain flex as you "stretch" your right side throughout the entire backswing. Would really help you increase the amount you turn and keep the shoulders and hips titled.

More on that in these two videos.

Thanks for the suggestions! But do you think that it not being my full swing might have something to do with it? That was kind of a full swing at a half speed pace because of where I was aiming. That was a 70 yard club aiming at a 40 yard target 60 ft downhill. I'll try to get a full swing of my driver, 6 iron, and that club up this weekend.

If it wasn't a full swing then why post it? ;-)

Yeah go ahead and post a full swing, I have a feeling you're still going to need to do more bending and stretching.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
