I continue to hit all my clubs on the heel which causes a fierce slice and not much distance. I am not standing too close to the ball and my swing path doesn't come over the top, what is the cause? I could be shaving a good 6-10 strokes off my game if I could get back to hitting my clubs in the sweet spot.

First, welcome to TheSandTrap

Hard to say what is actually happening. The only thing I know for sure is that your face angle is open a lot compared to your swing path. The heel shot does not help because that just adds in extra axis tilt towards for a slice curve, but not enough on its own to really product a slice.

If you are slicing then I would bet it is your swing path that is to outside to in. I would say the odds are in favor of a swing path fault over just having the clubface way open at impact with an inside to out swing path.

Still no one can really tell you what you need to do with out seeing your swing. I would create a My Swing thread here,

http://thesandtrap.com/f/4180/member-swings

if you do film your swing please read up on this,

http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing, with major emphasis on how to align the camera to get the best angles to view your golf swing.

Basically there is no one shot fix for a golfer. It depends on what they are doing with the motions they have in their swing.

Probably more of your swing path than standing too close to it. Check this out.

    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
    • Day 296: did a stack session.
