Where do I start...

Finished playing college baseball and for the past 8 months, working hard to teach myself the golf swing. Everything has been great (shooting in low 80's) up until now. I played a nice 3 to 5 yard draw and very rarely hit a slice. I took a week off to move and since returning, I look like I have never swung a golf club in my life. My wrist is severely cupped at the top of my swing and I am beginning to think, that is why I am hitting a devastating slice (some balls don't even go 5 feet before they turn). It has become a head thing at this point. Does anyone have any advice on how to get my left wrist flat because I can not for the life of me get myself to get it flat. I am never been so frustrated.

Welcome to the site, feel free to start a swing thread and post some swings. There are a lot of good players that have some cup at the top of the backswing so that might not even be the priority.

Without seeing the swing here's a good intro regarding how to fix the slice.

    • Day 556 - 2026-04-10 Played another 17 holes, this time skipping #11 to pass a group that was still on 14 when we were finishing up. 😛 Not as good as yesterday, but more distracted by the mind's eye.
    • Yes, you've gone on about it for like 20 years now. 😉 
    • I really do find the masters stuffed shirts to be insufferable. Or is it instufferable?
    • I'm hearing this morning that Robert MacIntyre may be facing some sort of discipline (probably a stern warning) for the finger incident on 15 yesterday.  It dawns on me his upbringing would have been during Tiger's prime years -- he's 29 now, and would have been in elementary school in the early 21st century.  Someone should tell him that the swearing wasn't what made Tiger great at golf.   Or John Daly (or Don January?) or whoever else we associate with both being good at golf and producing choice words on television.
