re: What was the key to fixing your driver slice when you started golfing?

At the top, things look really solid.
You are turning, not swaying.
My problem is sometimes I sway instead of turn.
You are not swaying.
Did you have your driver fitted for shaft stiffness, kick, etc?

“My” driver isn’t fitted. The woods/driver I’m using were free. Honestly my swing speed probably is fitted to a regular flex shaft. I started with a ladies flex (girlfriends moms clubs) and used a senior flex on Saturday (girlfriends clubs)
Sliced one on the first hole. My swing thought was to get the knuckles down. I used the driver on probably 13/18 holes and only had one more slice. I did pull (not hook) two and hit a pop fly to shallow center on one. Hard to tell for me if the knuckles down was a “fix” or if I just managed to do a sequence of things correctly. We played a scramble on the back 9 and ended up playing my tee shot on 7/9 holes. My buddy has played for a while and typically out drives me by 20 yards. I kind of black out on the tee box so it’s hard for me to realize what’s working without videoing it. I know I’m still not getting all of my weight onto the front foot, but I found it hard to focus on that when I was hitting them relatively straight by focusing on getting my knuckles down
