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]

@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

[video]https://youtu.be/BsVHmViW2L4[/video] [video]https://youtu.be/eiKvKyx1oVo[/video] I swung 100% on these two while focusing on the head movement and hip slide. I really want to hit the range! Haha I will embed my videos with the [video] tag in the future.

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)

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
