What if you hook sometimes?
Is the swivel for everyone? I have a little hook that comes around to visit once every few holes. If I try to swivel more is that going to send it MORE to the left? Also, what are the advantages to the swivel. I was reading a post from Yoda where he has you practice the swivel by just making a fist. I never really understood it until then. Thanks

Chances are good that those left shots are the result of a breakdown of the left wrist. The swivel does two important things - it helps force your pivot to move through and it helps keep that left wrist flat. Unless you use a strong left hand grip, a swivel should not send the ball left.

Either way, experiment with a swivel that is aggressive until you can 'hear' your shots. If at that point the ball is going left, check that your left hand grip isn't too strong.

I'm going to the range tonight and give it a try. The "fist drill" really felt good and like you said keeps the left wrist flat. I wish I would have found it earlier, I've got a best shot tomorrow. I'll try to remember to let you guys know the results. Thanks
