    For me, I was struggling off the tee with a slice. Analysis showed, I was over the top and very much ‘out to in’ on my swing path. It also showed my first movement from the top of my backswing was rounded. I worked on my first movement being Down towards the floor, allowing my hands access to my hips and ‘getting in the slot’. That would be my only advice for anyone struggling with a slice, worked wonders for me 👊

    Having the full swing kit really helps a lot to tell what you are doing with your club face or club path! Even if you are swinging from the inside, you could still be outside in at impact.

    I found in my game if my driver is on, breaking 80 becomes so much more attainable. Putting is one thing but, not having a shot into the green is the key issue. The dreaded hook is my driver miss, a high block on occasion. This could get me closer to better consistency for sure!

      Agreed, I played last week and im a beginner for the most part, my score is improving consistently but my driver is awful, with my driver the round before last i ob'd 7 times in the front nine. A few more in the back. Scored 125.
      So yesterday I decided no driver, three iron from the tee, ob'd twice the whole game, much better. BUT, I scored 128.
      A good driver is required.

    I'm a casual golfer who might play 8-10 times a summer. I've been putting in much more range time this summer though. I historically shoot 100-105, however, last weekend I shot a 91, which is easily the best round of my life. I am very "atypical" in my driver setup. I tee up with the ball one ball-width forward of exactly half-way between my feet - not up towards my front foot. I am about 75% consistent hitting it VERY straight with about a 240-250 carry. I swing a Taylor made Aero Burner.
    I've tried having the ball forward in my stance as recommended by 99.9% of people out there. I have barely any control, and I've hit lots of balls at the range lately trying to work on it. Should I keep looking for untapped distance potential by practicing with the ball forward in my stance, or should I keep doing what works for me?

    • @meandmygolf.
      @meandmygolf.  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I used to be a fantastic driver. Hit anywhere from 250-330 yard drives down the fairway or just into the rough but over the last year and a half I have completely lost my tee box. Spraying my driver all over the place. On 18 holes I maybe have 1 or 2 decent drives and more often than not lose my ball off the box. It’s ruining my game. I usually miss with a big heavy slice or a low snap hook. No idea what to do I’m lost. Any advice?

    We used the same principle down wind at our course in Scotland that gave you extra mileage, into the wind we hit a low draw to give the ball topspin which gave good roll and was great for controlling your shot. chipping with an eight or nine iron was the same all for control of the ball. a chip high shot with a 54 downwind just took off you could not control the spin. It is a different game on a windy coastal course that you need to understand. A famous player once said four 72 would win or be very close Gary player proceeded to do that and win the open.

      Only if thew shoulders follow. Yes moving the ball further forward shifts the path slightly you also hit the ball later in the arc which mean the face is more left and sometimes can change face to path relationship. The proof was in the pudding with Max here.
