I was out on the range the other day, when I hit a ball with my driver. The ball did its typical fade, but halfway down the range it curved back to the left. It was so strange. Can someone please explain to me how the ball curves right, then comes back left during its flight path? Also, there wasn’t any wind at the range. I think that my instructer told me that it was called a slook (slice/hook).
For some reason, I just can’t make a hook or slice in the swing mode. No matter how I swing the remote, it just doesn’t seems to hook or slice. Can anyone tell me how to hook or slice?
Thanks
I want a good drill or tip that would allow me to swing as hard as i want with mr driver without fear of smothering left and low or getting stuck an pushing it right with poor contact. I get a good feeling when my Swing is a little upright it frees me up and i get the feeling of power only problem is i cut across the ball and hit a blunted toe hook. when i try to fix this i make a shallower swing with my driver and get a shot that is hit of the heel it goes straight or cut Right about 230 yards weak. I rarely find the right zone and when i do i find power its like the difference between 280 and 230. Ive worked on set up ball position i often set up to open with my shoulders and when i try to fix this it just feels wrong here are some examples plus my swing god bless america.

When I practice the swing with my club without hitting the ball, I can use my left arm to swing beatifully. But when I really hit the ball, my right arm always takes over the swing to push the ball, I either slice it or out-side in to get a hook. People told me it is mental issue. I am trying so hard to correct it but always failed. Any clue?
I am 13 and i shoot about a 80-90 on TPC four seasons in Dallas(very tough course, used on tour).I have a swing of about 110-120 MPH and i need a good driver that will help me control the ball and be longer off the tee(I am usually 250-270 YARDS of tee). Thanks
Also i usually slice it off the tee rather than hook
I’ve been having trouble wtih a push and push slice in my golf swing. I’ve been trying to go more inside out but still have problems coming accross my chest….but like many I have a problem pulling my arms accross my chest early thus end up going outside in? Will early release of the club allow my arms to more naturally and easily go from inside out? Havent had a chance to go back to the range since i thought of this? What are you thoughts? Focus on the inside out and hopefully the cllub will realease in time…or focus on the club release and this will promote the inside out plane? Im trying to break the swing down in parts so i can figure this thing out…thanks.
i just went to the range and took a look at my ball flight…I dont think I have a typical slice…more of a push…or the extreme opposite a pull hook…after some research…i dont think i have an outside in swing plane…i think on the downswing i am over the top and am cutting down and accross the ball…so that if my club face is closed ill pull hook it…or if it is open ends up being mostly a push and sometimes slice if the face is extremely open…does this sound right?
Thanks for the help guys…i just got back from the range…after thousands of balls hit at the range…its finally clicked…i didnt have an outside in plane…i was coming down to steep then cutting across or down on the ball then i would pull across my chest….so that if the face was closed i would pull or hook it…if the face was open i would slice or push it…anyhow…figured that if i start from the feet and just let my club fall naturally so that its more sweeping action i would get that coveted in out swing plane…after i made an adjustment to the offset ( i was better with my 7-4 iron…until i understood that the shorter irons had less offset) …i would say 7 out of my 10 balls i had solid contact…the other 3 were either face open or closed…its finally clicked!
