Re: Slice question..
That's right, just changing my setup has increased my drives and they are DEAD straight, on the bad shots - I actually hook the ball, i've never hooked or drawn the ball with my driver before.
Yes, I am so familiar with that 200 yard shot, then off to the right for 50 - it's the push slice I had just two days ago.
The backward press is only there on the setup, don't over think about the press - just focus on pushing your left shoulder straight back and your shoulder turn complete - then just let go. Remember, letting go doesn't involve effort, take a nice easy swing and the balls will go straight. When I tried to increase my speed I would block the ball hard right, but no slice.
Today I put this whole thing to the course - and man am I happy with the results. First, I was paired up with a threesome that was playing the blues, I have always played the whites. I knew if it had been 2 days ago I wouldn't have played the blues, but I did today and finished with an 84, which is what I average from the whites. My drives were straight and long - the longest was on a par 5 that I've always had trouble with - this time, bam 270 down the pipe. Felt incredible and to have the guys ask me how long I've been playing and see their reaction that I've only played a couple of months, was priceless. I can't wait to get back out there on Thursday for my Men's League.
