RomadGolf17 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Last year I was averaging right around 285 total distance on my driver and for the most part I would hit it dead straight. This season my driver doesnt even come out of my bag anymore, im getting good distance off of it but im slicing the ball to the right roguhly 50 yards. I have not changed grip, swing or club since last season, im at a total loss for how to fix this. Multiple range sessions have not helped at all and watching to many youtube videos is making it worse. any advice would be great! thanks!

cnosil Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 In my opinion, since you are unable to self diagnose/self correct stop watching youtube videos and schedule a lesson with a pro and have him look at your swing. While you don't think anything change from last season to this season it obviously has or you would still be hitting your 285 straight shot. You could also post a video of your swing and some of the members that understand the swing could provide some advice on what you are doing, Thin2win and tony@CIC 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: Paradym AI Smoke Max HL 16.5* w/MCA TENSEI AV Series Blue Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Render w/VA Composites Baddazz Backup Putters: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe, Milled Collection RSX 2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin2win Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 It's either swing path, club face or both. A teaching pro would give you the best help. But if you are trying to self correct, try hitting big push draws, followed by pull fades. Hit 5 off each before switching. do this drill every time you hit. Should help you find the feel for the right path and face angle.

RomadGolf17 Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 I gave up the youtube videos weeks ago! haha You are right, i need to have someone else take a look at see what they can get figured out for me! I like the idea of taking a video, I will try that! tony@CIC 1 Quote WITB: DR- Cobra XB Fairways- Cobra Aerojet Irons Titleist 620CB Wedges Vokey SM9 Putter Scotty Cameron X5s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffleHouseTour Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Try Skillest. Video your swing face on annd down the line, then reach out to an instructor. Been working w the same online coach for a year now and very happy. Hitting my irons so much better and more consistently. And stay off of YouTube - the right fix for one person could make things worse for someone else. tony@CIC 1 Quote Walking ahead of my BagBoy QuadXL w Alphard eWheels Driver: Callaway Mavrik SubZero 9* Neutral w stock Evenflow Riptide R flex shaft 3W Titelist TS2 15* Draw w Tensei Blue R flex 3H, 4H Cobra One Length F9 Speedback hybrids (1”short) w Fujikura Atmos R flex shaft 5I-GW Cobra Forged TEC Black One Length (1”short, 2* flat) KBS 90 R flex shafts 56, 60 Cobra King MIM One Length Black (1” short) KBS HiRev2.0 125 S flex shafts ER7 or Scotty Futura X - 35” OnCore Elixr (lemon or lime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone through there and thought about doing, but there's so many options I just had no clue who to pick tony@CIC 1 Quote Lefty Gang Cally Mavrik 10.5 - Rogue White 60 TX Cobra Radspeed 5w at 16* - Motore F1 7x Srixon ZU85 3i - Tensei Blue 80tx Srixon Z785 4-PW - DG X100 Cally Jaws MD5 Raw 52* MD3 56* & 60 Scotty Phantom X5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some recommendations Dan Carraher is great and for his knowledge the price is a steal.

I've gone through there and thought about doing, but there's so many options I just had no clue who to pick I saw a recommendation from someone else talking about their coach. I looked at some of her posts and followed her on social media a bit. Liked what she talked about. I reached out and asked some questions. I’ve been working w Molly Lavercombe and found her to be very responsive. She was honest w me from the get go - not about focusing on trackman data and would recommend someone else who was - and I appreciated that. She helped w an immediate hosel problem and we’ve worked on a long term plan since then cnosil and Charles Lechair 2 Quote Walking ahead of my BagBoy QuadXL w Alphard eWheels Driver: Callaway Mavrik SubZero 9* Neutral w stock Evenflow Riptide R flex shaft 3W Titelist TS2 15* Draw w Tensei Blue R flex 3H, 4H Cobra One Length F9 Speedback hybrids (1”short) w Fujikura Atmos R flex shaft 5I-GW Cobra Forged TEC Black One Length (1”short, 2* flat) KBS 90 R flex shafts 56, 60 Cobra King MIM One Length Black (1” short) KBS HiRev2.0 125 S flex shafts ER7 or Scotty Futura X - 35” OnCore Elixr (lemon or lime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
