The clubs are great. Are you still slicing the WOODS?

[david durst]

yes bobby i am at times but its getting better.it seems on certain outings i hit better on some days.then other days same old story-slicing.practicing your draw dvd insructions is helping i think and getting a postive state of mind helps also.i have been setting my rt foot back about1/2way from my left seems to help also.any other suggestions?

If you slice , you might be comming a bit over the top; perhaps your right shoulder might be releasing a little early. What has helped me the most is concentrating on starting my dowswing (the very first move) with the gradual straightening of my right arm. That has to be the first move in order to avoid the club getting out of plane and going over the top. Also, always remember to grip gently, that way you make sure the club releases thru the ball.

Unless you are in some way (no disrespect intended) phisically challanged because of some injury that prevents you of achieving certain moves, I'm not personally fond of closing my stance in order to avoid a slice, for me that is called "perfecting a mistake". Down the road it will breed other faults.

This is just my opinion...

The next time you go to the practice facility, make sure you can see 2 or 3 knuckles of the left hand at address. #2 make sure you grip the club as soft as possible. The soft grip will allow the face to close sooner.

I agree with Bobby. However if you come from the outside (over the top) and the face is close to its path, you will get a straight pull ( no spin, dead straight, a perfect flight, but to the left). Happened to me many times. Before, I couldn't stop comming over the top but I manage to close the clubface, the result was a straight pull. To perfect the mistake, I oppened the face just a tiny bit at address and I got a nice right on target fade.

Just my opinion.
