Errant Dog

Can someone clarify something for me?? I've heard there are different TYPES of slices. The one I am hitting is called the "Straight Slice", starts out straight, and than hooks at the end. According to a website I was looking at, this slice occurs solely because of the club face, it says the swing plane is fine. Is any of this true?

Thanks for the info. While hitting balls with a 5 iron, I realize that this slice probably comes from an open club face. So when I really focused on squaring up the face, and swinging all the way through, it hooked even more. Is there anything I can do to try and correct an out-to-in swing?

So I'm a beginning golfer, and have really just been focusing on my iron play lately. I had an inconsistent swing, so I picked up the Medicus 5 Iron I swung it for a while, and could swing with out breaking it in very little time. So I picked up my regular 5 iron, and was hitting it further but still had a little slice. Every once in a while I will connect with one about 160 without a slice. Now here's the weird thing, when I hit my Pw - 7 iron I am extremely straight and consistent. The Medicus definitely helped with my shorter irons. But why do I still hit a slice with my 5 iron (and longer irons). I thought it was ball position, so I moved it forward in my stance, but I still have a slice. Any suggestions?

Golf Digest... I haven't really checked out Golf Magazine

So the lower body is more important when it comes to your long game?

Yeah I agree, I don't really notice the weight difference that much.
