Doesnt change my answer.
He is still probably aiming only half his body right, causing his slice.
Oh and I phoned "The World" and they are now aware of my "hook" Vs "slice" typo. Thanks. :rolleyes:
I think it changes your answer a bit GreeBo as that swing should now be in to out
, otherwise you could not give him worse advice.
It's ok though we all make mistakes just some of use are more accepting of it and don't reply with bold red and underlined writing when it happens0 -

It doesnt change my answer because the cause of the problem is an incorrect swing path, likely exacerbated by only aiming half of the body also along the correct path.
Your body line controls where the ball starts (assuming a square clubface)
Having your body open/closed to the club face is going to cause an in-to-out or an out-to-in swing and thus sidespin on the ball.
Its pretty standard to try to correct a slice by trying to hit a hook, and vice-versa.0 -

Yes the vice-versa part is the problem, you have corrected the hook to slice part (in bold red underlined writing as discussed) however you have not corrected the point you have alluded to i.e the swingpath.
The swingpath you have given the OP will result in a bigger slice so i was therefore correcting it for his purposes as you were too proud to yourself. In to out would be the correct swingpath for this user to attempt to cure his slice not what you have discussed.
Next time you should grab a club and use a mirror before you post and its amazing how everything is suddenly left handed
To be honest while swing path could be one cause of the problem, it is very often weight transfer for many golfers. Too often golfers will reverse pivot causing them to sit back on their follow through which will result in a slice, an exaggerated sway going back and movement forward on the follow through may be something to try on the range, you should find plenty of tips online for curing the reverse pivot. If you feel that you are sitting back on the follow through instead of powering through the shot then this could be the cause.0 -

Clearly the swing path I gave was to correct the hook I was talking about (the Thread is titled "hook/slice" and I missed the part about a leftie)
unless you think I was trying to solve a slice by saying "try to hit a slice"?
Perhaps urging the OP to go for the full 360 degree slice...
I had assumed you would be able to figure out that for switching from a hook to a slice, everything is reversed. Shame on me.
Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.
I don't think its fair to assume the OP knew to reverse the swingpath, if he has a decent knowledge of the game then it is more likely he would but if not then who knows. Also by only correcting hook to slice and maintaining you stance didn't change then this is only further complicating the matter, you should have probably corrected the couple of errors in your post yet you still continue to defend it. I agree with the last sentence shame on you 0 -
1.The only thing that causes a golf ball to move in the air is sidespin.
2. The only thing that causes sidespin is the swing-path.
3. You can jump up and down on a pogo stick and hit a ball and as long as your swing path is correct the ball will not have sidespin.
4. A reverse pivoter can slice, but only because they are swinging on the incorrect path.
5. You can reverse pivot and still hit the ball straight (not very well) but you cannot swing on the incorrect path and hit it straight.
Correct in some parts and wrong in others;
1. Correct on a calm day, however you should always bear in mind wind conditions GreeBo;)
2. Quite often the reverse pivot will determine the swingpath i.e. the reverse pivot is the bigger problem here. If the reverse pivot is corrected this may (not always) in turn correct the swingpath i.e. the swingpath is a subset of the reverse pivot. So u get half a point here.
3. Completely irrelevant, if only there was a Mod to give an infraction for going off the point
4. Addressed on point 2. Furthermore, what % of reverse pivoters do u think hook the ball?? Remember to look in the mirror and think like a leftie here GreeBo
5. Correct, but then there is more than one problem with the swing and the body has compensated for the reverse pivot by flipping the hands more at impact as well as other methods. This would be a more difficult problem to fix.0 -

I'm like one of the dumb apes in that movie Rise of The Planet of The Apes. And would i be right in saying that individual charged with monitoring the tone of the thread is also the one writing in bold red underlined writing?? 0 -
