I've been Playing Golf for: a few years My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: slice, push slice, fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice, push slice, shank [rule] Videos: [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/JO6yjUP0USA[/VIDEO] Hi all Thanks for taking a look at my swing. Im having problems slicing the ball, irons and driver. Magnified ++ with the driver. Irons will often be just a slight fade, but my driver i commonly send 2 fairways to the right .. Obviously some major flaws. Will try to get a side on video up soon. Appreciate any comments. Thanks

Hi all

Thanks for taking a look at my swing. Im having problems slicing the ball, irons and driver. Magnified ++ with the driver. Irons will often be just a slight fade, but my driver i commonly send 2 fairways to the right ..

Obviously some major flaws.

Will try to get a side on video up soon.

Appreciate any comments. Thanks


Welcome to the forum @anderjam .  I edited your post to imbed the video. Just putting the URL causes the system to hold your post as possible spam.  In the future, just copy the video url and use the video icon on the toolbar.  It looks like two sections of film.

Below is a screen shot of you at A5.5 to A6.5.  A5 is the position of your lead arm being parallel to the ground and A6 is the shaft parallel to the ground.  The screen shot shows you are coming over the top (left photo) and then moving your head back (right photo) to compensate so you will not miss the ball.  You are not moving your head before that point, at least as seen from behind.

I can't tell without a face on photo, but it may be because you are not getting your weight forward enough during the downswing.

Check out this thread.

And particularly, this video.

A face on shot would help too.  This drill and the other weight forward drills are a great start.  If you get consistent at Key 2, it is easier to improve the other Keys.  Best of luck.

Sorry i couldnt find the ' video toolbar' to embed.. Is it the icon 1 to the right of the "B"?

It looks like a strip of camera film.

Possibly not.  I use my computer to post videos.

You can just wrap the YouTube URL in [video]URL HERE[/video] tags.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
