I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 36 (typically shoot around 110-115)
My typical ball flight is: Intermittent slice
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: My biggest miss is thin hits with my irons.

I've been playing for about 2 years now, about 10-12 rounds per year. Oddly enough, putting is my strongest part of the game. I was slicing my driver pretty bad but have straightened that out quite a bit toward the end of last season. My biggest issue at the moment is with my irons. I have a tendency to try and swing too hard when I'm on the course and have inconsistent contact. I just got the net so I can practice at home without worrying about where the ball is going, I want to practice slow swings with good form to create quality muscle memory. Ultimately I'm looking for a good first piece of advice to focus on as I'm practicing with the net.

@badfish I am no expert and am just a guy who breaks 90 on occasion. However, here are somethings I noticed:

- Set Up: It appears you are standing too far from the golf ball

- Alignment: Your DTL driver video appears to show a very open stance. This could easily lead to a slice that you may be seeing with that club. 

- Impact: You are flipping. Try working on a flat left wrist at impact. Simple Key #3 in the 5SK system. (This key is also known as inline impact)

I did notice the open stance on the driver video right away. Perhaps I should actually pay attention to the alignment stick ...

Thanks @HJJ003, I appreciate the advice. I didn't even notice the flipping until you pointed that out.

    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)      
    • Day 185: 6/25/24 Putting on a 3’, 1” ruler with 2 different putters., both Spiders but different models.
