weight shift is way way off

[hvnit2gd1975]

I have a very very bad slice to the woods and even some of the irons. Sometimes I push the ball and other times it will go straight and then start on its path right. When the ball hits the ground its rockets straight right. Obviously there is a lot of spin on the ball.

I taped my swing and saw what may be ONE of the reasons. When I swing with the driver or woods I see in the video that my weight is back on the right leg almost like a baseball swing. Could this be the reason for the slice/push right ???????

Well you definitely want to get most of your weight on the back foot at the end of your backswing with those clubs but you can't leave it there. You must transfer the weight to the front foot during the through or down swing. Bump your hip forward laterally to being your down swing to help tranfer the weight to the front foot.

Your video shows me you are way to tense, ballis to forward. Your shoulders are not in alingment, and yes you have a reverse weight shift.
Relax, get a full shoulder turn, and inside swing , release the club.

yeah easier said than done. It has helped a lot to see the swing on video/

Do you think this is why my ball goes right and slices bad???
