I've been Playing Golf for: 4-5 Months (started in April)

My current handicap index or average score is: My most recent score is a 102 :/

My typical ball flight is: Not great loft, also not the distance I want.

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: The slight slice I get sometimes.


Videos: I decided to list these from June - Now to show you how my swing has changed.

Thanks for posting @DevonteGray

That is a pretty nice swing for a new golfer! You are coming a little over the top on the slice videos. I'm not sure of the cause but have asked the site instructors to take a look.

In the meantime, check out these threads.

I would get a bit more relaxed in your set up. Look at Tiger on the right. He's a bit more over the ball. His butt is sticking out less. His back is not ram rod straight. His looking down at the ball more. His arms are relaxed underneath him.

I would also say your grip looks overly strong. I would take a look at this thread,

I would look into flaring your feet outward more. It just helps with making a better turn.

Honestly you have a lot good going for you.

I would take a look at this thread on how to get more a centered pivot. Let those hips work better.

Welcome to the site @DevonteGray , I'd focus on two things for now.

- Turning your feet out at address, check out the thread @saevel25 shared.

- Working on getting your weight/lower body more forward on the downswing. This will help you hit the ball more solid and swing more outward/less across the ball so you can get rid of those slices.

    • Ok, great. Best of luck to you in the future. I gave you the answer for significantly less than $20k though, just sayin.
    • Thanks for getting back. Much appreciated. So how is the distance compared to your previous club? Also, dispersion? In general, did you think it an upgrade? 
    • dont worry i was hitting balls in my $20000 simulator room and figured it out anway
    • I believe @GolfLug ask me to post my thoughts on it, but this for anyone interested on an unbiased review. I got the 4 hybrid with a Tensie AV Blue 65g R flex shaft.  This club had one requirement. hit the ball 180 yards. 175-178 is all I can get out of it and I am fine with that.  It did not come with a wrench. Two things about that. One, I have a wrench, two, I have no need to make an adjustment. I thought about adjusting it to close to a 3 to get an extra yard or two, but really no need to. Hits off the fairway with no issue and I took a few whacks out of the rough and seems to do its job. Our rough is not that bad so for any thick stuff I dont know. Bottom line it works. It does its job for me without issue. One thing that so far has been good is that it doesn't bleed off to the right like my driving iron did. It had a gentle fade to it that I had to compensate for when I aimed. I hit this pretty straight so far. Not too high of a ball flight. The shaft is a "mid launch" shaft. I did not Mevo this. The only number I cared about was max distance. If I was all over the place with it I would have tinkered with it and had the Mevo out, but no need. I hit about 40 balls or so with it on the range and then played. I like it , I might get a 5 now. They are $249.00 at retailers everywhere. New models are coming I'm told so that's why they are on sale. Sorry for the lack of technical launch monitor data, the end result was what I was looking at and it did it right out of the gate.
