Divots left, ball right

[bcoak]

My divots are going left of target while the ball starts at/to right of target and slices. Swinging motion. Trying Flippper technique of just holding on and trying to spear the inside aft of ball with the butt of the club using pivot. What would cause this?

Wow, kind of sounds to me like an over-the-top move with hosel contact.

Have you checked your alignment lately?

Moved the ball up in my stance a little, closer to off the left heel and this seemed to help but not sure why. Thoughts?

The Never Slice Again Pattern (in miniature):

From address, make you left palm work TOWARD you the whole swing.

From address, make you right palm work AWAY from you the whole swing.

On the backswing, feel as though your roght shoulder never gets any higher than it was at address as it turns.

Past impact rotate your left arm THE MAXIMUM, and keep your head back and your tailbone forward.
