On the higher irons (5 & up), I generally hit the ball pretty well but pull it to the left a little (no curve). On the lower irons and woods, I generally hit a slice (curving into the trees or into someone's swimming pool). The ball starts off straight, though.

On the higher irons, I normally get clean contact and take the divot afterward. On the lower clubs, I don't think I normally take much of a divot, except for the occasional divot that occurs 3 inches before the ball... doh!

I grip the club with my left hand (in the palm just below the knuckles at a slight angle), then I place the club directly behind the ball and if necessary I rotate the club (usually that'd be a little tweak to the right) so that it is square behind the ball. Then I put my right hand on the grip along the lifeline.

When I check the balance, by taking a swing and then letting the club come down straight out in front of me, it is inevitably a little closed and not square as I would think it should be. I think my wrists are put on crooked.

My better shots have a medium to high trajectory and I think you could say they are steady.

I know it's not easy to help somebody without actually seeing them swing, but I appreciate you giving it a try.
