		<description>This is what I did when I first started... and believe me, it&#039;s just as, if not more embarrassing than it sounds. Get into your stance, bending your knees. Then take the club and hold it behind your back so that one end is going between your shoulder blades and touching the back of your head, while the other end goes to your tailbone. Eventually, after a couple weeks (or less if you practice often) you will develop the muscle memory to not have to do this anymore.

Also, make sure that your head is not facing straight down at the ball. Look above the ball.</description>

		<description>Check the following before you hit a club:

Make sure your shoulders and your feet is lining up towards the target (don’t aim left and let the ball slice back to the fairway, this is correcting a mistake with another mistake)

Make sure your right hand is not too open when you are addressing the ball, you should see 2 knuckles from your right hand and one knuckle from your left hand.

Make sure your swing don’t come from outside in, it must be inside out, picture yourself hitting towards the right side of the target on your downswing

Make sure you turn your right hand over toward your target on your downswing

and Make sure on your up swing you don’t put your most weight on your left foot, but on your right foot, and down swing shift your weight from right back on to left foot.

Remember, right hand is there to control the club head, (especially doing the turning on the downswing), but left hand is the power hand

Iron swing is more compact, same principal as the driver, only that on your back swing, try keep your right elbow as close to your body as possible and turn your shoulders, you don&#039;t want to extend your back swing too much when hitting irons, because what you need is good ball striking and consistency, distance is not so important, you will get enough distance if you hit the ball clean.

point of acceleration is very important too, lots of people tends to start accelerating at the peak of their back swing, where in fact you should accelerate right before you hit the ball,

can you picture that? its like a whipping motion, you only start to exert force right at the bottom of your downswing. not at the top of your back swing.

to check your stance, just check the face at the bottom of the club, to see if the club is lying flat on the ground, or its standing toe up, or toe down, the bottom line of the club head need to lie almost 100% flat on the ground</description>

		<description>Did you lose weight?  I went through that and it&#039;s awkward to be lighter because your body doesn&#039;t stay or move how it used to.  I lost about 25 lbs. between age 15 and 17 and it does affect your power because the lower body is not stabilized by the weight anymore.  The only thing to help is to do lower-body strength exercises to aid bracing during drives and to work towards a slower tempo until you are back to peak. Hope this helps.</description>

		<description>practice teeing your ball with a random coloured tee. I do this by having about 5 colours in my pocket. Then without looking a just put my hand in and grab a tee and tee the ball up.

The objection? To see what colour the tee is!!

By concentrating on the tee you will automatically keep your whole body a lot quieter which in turn will keep those pesky legs still!!

Hope this helps!</description>

		<description>Try the Stack and Tilt...Keep the weight on your front foot(60-40), rotate around your spine and keep your head still and make sure you don&#039;t release too early.</description>

		<description>If you had to pick between the 2... Swing Jacket... A buddy of mine bought the inside approach.  You can make something to swing under.  Besides, just because your club comes from the inside it doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s on plane.  That you didn&#039;t release the club too early &lt;no lag&gt;, or that your followthrough had any extension.

A buddy of mine has the inside approach and he is still slicing.  He can get under the foam but still is pulling the club left too soon through impact.  All you need to do for this for free is to put your driver headcover down on the outside edge of your target line about 2 feet behind your ball and if you come over the top you&#039;ll hit the headcover.

If you want to fix it without buying stuff?  Take a lesson from a pro and do some research like I did.  

Here&#039;s the key to stopping a slice:

1.  Nuetral grip. Look it up, both lines from your thumbs point to the right shoulder &lt;not outside of shoulder and not at your chin&gt; and very relaxed hands &lt;no tension&gt;
2.  Spine tilt, look at how the pros are setup at address.  Their right shoulder is over their right shoe &lt;which has their body tilted away from the target slightly
3. Look at Ben Hogan, Tiger, Adam Scott&#039;s RIGHT LEG in the take away. Notice how it doesn&#039;t straighten and remains at the SAME angle it had at address. Their hips don&#039;t slide but the right hip does go around behind them.
4. Look up Ben Hogan Transition on YOUTUBE.COM.  The change of direction from backswing to downswing creates more angle of the club and it drops the RIGHT ELBOW down to the RIGHT HIP.  &lt;IMPORTANT&gt; it&#039;s the feeling of SKIPPING ROCKS - try it - you will notice that in that motion the right elbow comes down and inside first and then the right wrist maintains it&#039;s angle as you throw, same as in golf swing, watch the videos
5. Exstension of the right arm through impact PULLS the butt of the club down like you are skipping rocks and then extend the right arm through impact.  
6. Your hips are rotating throught his because you shifted your weight to start the swing
7.  let your head come up through impact and finish on the left side &lt;for right handed golfers&gt;</description>

		<description>The Inside Approach would be the better of the two that you selected. However, hands-on golf instruction and analysis is the best way to learn how to create the most affective swing for your size and physical capabilities. We all can&#039;t impart the club face to the ball the way Tiger does.</description>
