Authentic and Matt thanks for the advise will try it out at driving range.

And donkey I know it's not legal but the group of guys I play with its all for fun we aren't shooting anywhere near even. So it's more of a running joke. But it does work. I guess the theory behind it is the Pam is slippery and doesn't allow the ball to spin when struck by the club face.

The big key to fixing a slice is to fix it the right way. Once you figure it out though, the next challenge is getting your feet set up right on your drives. You'll notice you'll start to hit more to the left after you fix it. Then you face the challenge of being out of your comfort zone aiming farther right than you're use to. Challenging game but if you work at it, you can get good, and that's when it gets really fun.

What is the best way to set up feet on drive. Ball at mid stance/back foot/front foot.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

I go with the ball at the heel of my front foot.

Like others have said, general rule of thumb is ball inside your lead foot. Another way I like to imagine it is if I had three balls, all lined up parallel with my body. One ball starts from the center of your stance, the next ball is beside that ball, and the last ball ends up at the heel. All while each ball touches each other.

Each ball is for certain clubs. For full wedge shots and short irons, place the ball in the middle of your stance, medium irons like your 7,6,5, place the ball slightly ahead of the middle part of your stance but not too far forward, and for long irons like 4,3, hybrids, woods, drivers, etc place the ball inside your lead foot aka off the inside of your heel.

Hope that helps!

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

I'm new to golf -- started about a month ago. More experience golfers are always trying to change my grip. I mean, its correct but the I don't 'choke' up enough on it. When I do it their way I'm yelling 'Fore!' the whole time -- when I have my grip starting at almost the end of the club I'm hitting it straight.

Thankfully I have my first lesson tomorrow -- I need to know whats right.

I'd say if you hit it straight the way your comfortable stick with that.

And once again thank y'all for driving tips.

You are gripping the club the correct way believe it or not. If you're right handed your left hands palm should be pressing down on the end of the club. This provides a nice leverage point and also adds control.
