I have been playing for about 3 years, and my handicap is 15. Up until 1 month ago I considered my iron play above average as I was pretty consistent in terms of contact and aim. Driver was less consistent but still certainly playable. Up until recently I played 2-4 times per week. Then I randomly started slicing my driver, and then a week or so after that my irons followed. I did not feel as if I changed anything in my swing, but the result was obviously changing.
I decided to take a lesson then, which did not correct my slice and may have caused even more problems. I have looked at my own video (below) which shows I come over the top considerably, and that likely causes the slice. I have read and tried many methods to swinging inside to out or at least square, and none of them have worked. I'm very tall at 6'7" so am not sure if perhaps my flexibility is a problem here, or if I'm simply not doing something right. Maybe the outside to in part of my swing is not the first thing I even need to work on, so I wanted to ask some others their thoughts from my video. Hopefully with some direction I can get back the courage to play at all. (BTW video is me hitting 6i, driver, then (awfully) a PW)
