I've been Playing Golf for: 3 Years

My current handicap index or average score is: 18

My typical ball flight is: Fade with Driver, Straight with Irons

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Slice with the driver. Its killing my game. If I can manage to get off the tee well I can normally score really well but many of my rounds are ruined off the tee. On the rare occasion I can go a round good off the tee ill score well under my handicap.

Hello, newbie here from Scotland. I stumbled on this forum while search for other golf related info. I've always been one for tinkering with my swing, taking videos and doing a lot of analysing myself, more for my own learning so In future I can self assess and fix my own issues whilst on the go. I've had a few lessons over the time I've started to play golf. I play regularly and been finding I could really post a good score if I can just cure the driver issue. My iron play is generally good but once I get the driver in my hand things are very different. I know the club tips over causing it be a weak fade/slice. I've tried to keep my lead wrist from rotating left to soon in the downswing, also tried bumping the hips towards the target on the downswing to get the right shoulder down. When I look at some vids I took before of my iron play I can notice I am prone to tip over. There is only so much I can tell when I look at my swing myself. Id appreciate it if yous could share any things that you could see that would help my game out.

Thanks

John

Welcome to the site. Post a face on view if you can. I'd recommend taking a look at this thread and working on feeling more weight transfer forward on the downswing, will help you swing less across/more outward.

In that face on video I've tried to implement what was on the how to hit a driver link. I've tried turning the hips without swaying, I think in the past I've definitely been prone to doing this.
