Paul,
I keep working on positions, wrist hinge but keep pulling or slicing the ball with very little distance…I just can’t keep my shoulders from coming over the top… how do I change this old habit
If you are still putting slice spin on the ball you are not rolling the wrists soon enough. Slow it down and roll it from the top. You need the face closed at impact. If you try to hit it hard you will tighten the face will still be open when you hit the ball. If you can’t do it with driver … tee up a 7 iron. This is step 1 and yes, you will be hitting pull hooks. Once you do this then you work on body to straighten it out.
If your body moves first in the downswing and your arms are turned off, the plane will flatten. Let’s address that once you can hook it.
