Hello:

This is my first post. I had a lesson last week, with video. My left arm is bending at the top of the swing, which is apparently caused by my right arm not maintaining a 90 degree angle. This is also reducing my swing arc. It looks like I am overswinging slightly (i.e., trying to turn my shoulders a bit too much), resulting in too steep a downswing (and a resulting slice).
Have read several golf instruction books, and the only tip I can find is Leadbetter ("Faults and Fixes" book), who says to practice swinging a club with the hands split on the shaft.

Can anyone offer another drill?

Thanks,
Garry

Try 3 Quater swings. Don't swing the club as much as you do. Try to make a shorter swing enablinng you to get your right arm at 90 Degrees. Also you will have more control and more power from not overswinging the club.

Just try it out. I hope this works for you.

Thanks, Ulprus, for the prompt response. I will give it a try.

Your left arm will bend a little at the top of your swing no matter what. A slower swing (try it on the practice tee first) should turn the slice into a fade, which may be the best shot in golf.
