Working on my driver swing without hitting balls today. I am a slice-a-holic w the driver but have corrected it with irons since joining the KFC club. I feel like I’m maybe rolling hands in the takeaway? Do you see anything else for me to focus on? Thanks in advance!

Brock, although I don't have the solid swing Tom is referring to or atleast consistent. The problem you described, Iron getting closer to KFC with less or no slice. The driver is still a problem. Brock I turned to Tom driver lesson and swing fixes. Using Tom's advice and using the alignment sticks. 1 alignment stick for direction and 2 other sticks at an angle. 1 stick for driver and the 2nd stick for hands. Slow with the back swing and get the driver back on backswing. The other fix from Tom was to put one of the sticks in the ground at a 45° on the back swing side and on the back swing, swing behind the alignment stick. Tom uses the same method for the irons however he said to swingin front of the alignment stick. This is a work in progress for me. I have had some success but as mentioned I am not yet consistent. I went to the range today to practice with some success but on the way back to work I stopped at Dicks and used the projector hitting range and was slicing the heck out of the ball until I remembered Tom's driver fix. And Boom I hit the ball straight and another 35 yards. Golf is fun. Practice can sometimes be hard but never give up. Knocked off 5 stocks 56 to a 51 in last week's league play. I have to thank Tom 2.8 lesson ( which I am still going thru all irons) also Tom's chipping lesson helped. Good luck.
