Little fade/slice problem with Driver all of a sudden....
All of a sudden my slice is starting to come back. I had been hitting my drivers straight with maybe a slight fade (ball would end up about 10 yds from aim point) Now all of a sudden my drives are ending up about 20-30 yds right of target.....HELP!!!! I figured that I would try to analyze this problem myself, but the only thing I can think of that I may be doing differently is my address. I noticed at setup my body is parallel to the target (train tracks...mind you) but my shoulders aren't. My shoulders seem to point well left of target. Would this be a cause to a outside in swing? A cause for the sudden emergence of the nasty slice again? I checked my foot placement and ball position and they seem to be fine; and I am getting a full rotation on the backswing. I was just wondering what y'all thought. It's gonna be a week or so til I get to hit the range or links (because of work), so I just wanted to get some tips while I'm on a lil hiatus. By the way, my iron shots seem to be fine. Maybe a little shorter than I'd like, but they are pretty straight or have a slight draw. All advice that is good advice is very apprieciated. Thanks in advance.

The rason your shoulder alignment is off is ball position
If the ball is more forward it will make your right shoulder drift away from your body outwards
This will cause you to take the club on an outside path, and the clubface will be open
Another problem can be is that you are opening your upper body up too soon, make sure that the lower body is intiating the donwswing
When you reach the top of your swing, pause and then shift a bit laterally and then let the club fall down
Write back with your success
