My Swing (oaklandas248)

Playing golf for: 1 year typical ball path height: Medium The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Slice! [COLOR=FF0000] This is a template for a new "My Swing" thread. [/COLOR] Hey guys! I've just recently gotten into golf. I played a few times last year, but this summer I've really gotten into it ( 3 times a week, shooting around 84). I've played baseball my entire life and am trying to transition over to golf. If I don't hit the ball dead straight or mishit it, it will always curve right after about 100-125 yards. For the most part it's a medium flight path, Occasionally i will have a low drives that have a hop-up effect almost. I'm not sure what's better? I'll hit it anywhere from 175-250 on really what feels like the same swing, hahaha Unfortunately just one video right now i will upload and will take more today and upload when I get back from the course. I've essentially youtubed all my knowledge of swing mechanics and really could use any and all tips and help I can get! Haha And if you live in upstate ny maybe we'll end up on the course! Medium The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Slice! Videos: [video]http://youtu.be/lc0QgSH4W4k[/video]

Just went today and relaxed my left shoulder a little and it definitely helped(also got some golf shoes! Finally) I'll try and upload a few more videos tonight

Your video is set to private.

Thanks! Should be good to go now. Was wondering what that lock was

Yep the video is working now!

I would suggest working on keeping a steady head. It's key number 1 for the 5 Simple Keys. A quick search will turn up a lot of threads about that and drills.

The link above is a great place to start.

@OaklandAs248 : :

The camera moves a bit (the dot on the ball), but nowhere near that much.

Ok I'm definitely going to keep my head still and my feet slightly winged. I think that will help my hip slide for sure.

I'd also do the drill in the thread and practice with the right hip next to a chair at home. Changing the pivot is probably going to require more than feeling your head stay steady.

It makes it really hard for me to get my body torqued

It's easy, it's just a set-up adjustment, just do it

Again, I think it would be better to focus on the movement of the hips on the backswing.

Yes please do a better job with the videos.

man that chair drill is really helping! thank you sir, although it feels the club head is moving less distance i can tell its way more consistent.

Right now i'm working with a (VERY) used driver, callaway steelhead irons and a 60 wedge. If anyone has any recommendations for the callaway used/ pre-owned clubs I'm in the dark about shaft stiffness/ what head to buy. I'm definitely replacing my whole bag/ adding a few wedges at the end of the season when the prices drop a tad.

Right now I'm using my clubs as the excuse I'm bad ;) (joking hahah)
