That method you are showing me is basically how to sweep the ball off of the tee and basicallly you want to hit your fairway woods the same way pretty much right. I bet you were slicing the ball just like I am now, the ball would go 200 yards straight and then 50 yards right pretty much. So you are telling me that just doing this causing you to straighten out your drives now? If that is so that is crazy, but I will definitely give that a try. So you don't take the club back with that backward press? If this knowledge fixes my problem I will be happier than all get up.

Thanks for the info Matt....
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.

Re: Slice question..
I'm waiting for some nicer weather here in Kansas to take out the video camera. If not, I'll just do it in the backyard. Just note that my setup is alot more exaggerated than the pictures of Leadbetter. But trial and error to me, is one extreme to another - then finding the medium.
