Well you guessed right on how i practice. Thank you for your help

I have been working on this for a couple of weeks now and i dont seam to be getting anywhere. I get up and do a practice swing and the divot is going the correct direction and looks like i would hit ball first. When i swing at the ball the divot is always going from out to in and is usually too far behind the ball. This would explain the slice and poor distance. Can someone give me some pointers or some good drills\practices to gain some ground on that issue. Maybe someone will suggest something the resonates with me.

It does. Thank you for your advise

Is that proper way to use these forums to spend some real time working on the help I have gotten above and then post another video to this same thread? I am assuming that the instruction from you people above is the most obvious issues and as i bring them under control other things can be worked on in perhaps a specific order. I guess what i am really asking is it effective to try and work on several things at once or just focus on one swing change at a time. Any advise?

I am very hopeful that you can help me also. I will be extremely appreiciated

I am hoping you meant that you have been work with the guys in this forum

Thank you iacas for the clarification. That post did confuse me a little. It seamed as though it was the opposite of what MVMAC had said. I will tell you though that I got the advice to "really flip those wrists" from a instructor on a golf range that is a PGA member. I do think both you and MVMAC gave me that right advise as well as mfillyaw. I was paying for the lessons that got me started on the bad habit that you both of you advise against. The only part of my game that i want to work on right now is my slice. I have been golfing to long to not have worked that problem out. It takes the fun out of golf for me because i view it amateuristic. I dont even know if that is a real word but it explains how i feel. I have devoted a year to solving this problem and at times i feel like I am going around in circles depending on what advise I get from much better golfers than I. My brain tells me that when you start flipping your wrists it is hard to tell where the club face is going to end up. So sometimes i hit it very straight and hard in the wrong direction (pulled left). I got some advise that i have not put into practice yet but may have been the best (but harsh) advise if have gotten. "you dont get better because you dont spend time on the drills". I dont have a driving range close to me so somehow i need to did the drills and find a way to practice the right stuff at home. It would seem that i also need to find a way to know what is good advise and what is not.

Sure I would like what to see what you have

It has been a little frustrating at times. I make a swing with open hands and I can turn the shoulder without drifting the head. I can also follow through better. Once I put that glib in my hand my brain wants to take over and I struggle.

I realized that I never thanked you for your help. It is very much appreciated.

I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years My current handicap index or average score is: 95 My typical ball flight is: A fade or slice The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I want to be able to draw a ball and I hate my slice Videos:

Hi I have been trying to work on my swing and I would like someone to look at it and see if i am making any progress.

I hope I see the big rewards eventually Adam. I have golfed for a long time an I have really not improved much. I have joined a club where I can play unlimited golf and purchased a discount range membership. I amready to do some hard work and this forum is going go help. Thank you all very much.

Thank you so much for your analysis ithas been so helpful

I should have mentioned above that I have done the club face thing to help correct my slice. It has somewhat. What I am really interested in is correcting my swing path. I have had an outside in swing for a long time. Until this discussion i did not understand why. Everyone of my divots points dead left. I believe from all the discussion above ( and i appreciate all of it) the thing I need to work on first is keeping my wrist flat at impact. I know messing with my swing path is going to cause problems for awhile. But I am so tired of all the inconsistency in distance and contact and eventually I would love to see a ball draw. Thank you all for your advice
