Still slicing and hooking and fatting it, lol

[oakey22]

Took a video of my swing at the range the other day, hitting a lot fat, slicing them and hooking my driver, lol

Can someone please help me on a drill or anything to help.
I dont think i am transfering my weight properly for one and i think i must leave the clubfacev open at impact too.

I have been trying over the last few days to start the downswing with my legs and rotating my hips instead of my shoulder but seem to be getting no where.

I will add another swing as soon as it has uploaded.

Thanks
Ian

The slices are probably happening cos the ball is well below your feet

Do you have a video from the front? It looks like your keeping the weight on your back foot through impact, but difficult to see from that camera angle

Hi Ian
I see 2 things here.
As you probably can see yourself, your right foot is doing nothing until long after the ball has gone.
And secondly, it's our old friend the out to in swing.
Did you follow my thread about the headcover drill?

Hi Ian i havnt even looked at your swing yet,but if your having major problems you need a lesson,it must be fundamentals,grip,allignment etc.Get back to basics.Also why is your handicap n/a your only going to improve if you take it seriously.

Just watched the vid,it looks like your weight is on your toes and you are struggling to maintain balance at the end,thus leading to your swing being out to in causing the slice,try keeping you weight on the balls of your feet,this will help.

I will take a look at the thread Bob, I have N/A as handicap because i am not a member anywhere yet so dont have one, i only normally play once a week at the moment as the weather and daylight hours are not permitting.

I agree with the weight staying on my back foot, are there any drills to try and sort this out?

Thanks

Kick your right knee in towards your left in the downswing until you can see your right heel 3-4 inches off the ground at impact.

I'll give that a try tomorrow at the range, and the next day, and the day after, lol.

Putting is getting slightly better though with the V-Easy

Went today and took another Video, more than less the same as last time but i tried the sponges drill that bob has in his post. How far from the ball do you have these? i had them about a clubhead and half width from the ball infront of me and behind the ball. I cleaned the headcover up the 1st shot and it went down the range, lol.

Out of 60 balls only connected with the headcover about 3 times, always the one infront of the ball.

I will get a video up in a minute
