yours go right? mine go left... like way left
Mr. Satchmo

I tend to do two thing, my body either gets ahead of my club and my club gets stuck behind me and I hit a block right, or I get the timing of everything except for my release and I hit a power fade-to slice but it starts out straight. When I get "Release" in my head I remember and I hit some great drives.

I actually hit the danged ball today with an iron. After embarrassing myself last Thursday and Friday it felt good to hit down on the ball instead of thinning everything insight.

My new setup has altered everything for me. But the best part is I can adjust on the fly because everything is in tune. Need more left? Speed up the arms. Need more right? Lag the arms a bit and speed up the body.
Relies on timing but because everything else is in tune I can adjust pretty easily.

mine only go right if i try to hold off and try to counter my hook by leaving the face "more" open
or when i am hooking the crap out of the ball and aim super right but the ball goes straight... right
how is it diff from your old setup?
Mr. Satchmo
urielsatchmoortegaMR.Jinx
yeah I've gotten better at using my body, but that's why I block now since I get too far ahead, when I'm on time my drives are amazing,
My new fitted shaft for my 3 wood made a huge difference, I was hitting my 3 wood off the deck with a great draw and off the tee it was long and straight, I am hoping I can get this same result in my driver since the shaft is the same now.

what driver are you playing russ? maybe it's something as simple as adding some weight to the heel and slowing down the face rotation

My new setup is more upright, and has my hands starting the swing further away from my body. It lets me coil more and I don't need to come across the golf ball because my hips aren't in the way of the path to the ball..

one of the best ways ive counteracted it is with a weaker grip with my left hand and a neutral grip with my right(im right handed)
tm superfast tp 2.0
i think its something as simple as taking way more lessons hahaha
Mr. Satchmo
urielsatchmoortegaMR.Jinx
that too lol, maybe you can sneak in a few lessons while you're working

I hit the ball way higher when flush. A good high. I still want higher launching shafts, but for now this will work.
My drive is now a draw that runs forever. It's a nice change from a fade with no roll.

my pro is ridiculously busy but at least she's free (for me)
its strange cuz when everything is clicking i can go low and the very frikken next day nothing clicks... frustrating

lol, I sense some history there lol,
that's cool though that you can work with her frequently.
I've been working on my misses, and a guy I play with was trying to get me to do what he does, it's the creepiest thing he puts his back foot really far back, i'm not talking about a few inches back, he seriously overdoes it.
Lets say his target is at 12, he sets up with his face pointing at 3, and his front foot in line with the 12. He brings his back foot about 2-3 feet back-so far back his foot is like at 8 o clock so his body lower body is pointing at like 5 a clock. His stance is so closed but he doesn't stop hitting slices. Instead of doing that and ruining my swing, I just work with my instructor lol, I think that is lazy and he really misses the point and is making his habits worse his feet make a line pointing so far right it's ridiculous

Long irons. Doing a lot off the tee to give myself a different option besides woods on par 4&5. They always haunt me when i need them.

makes sense. I dont know about aim but i know that logic works with a slice or hook
Mr. Satchmo
urielsatchmoortegaMR.Jinx
I'll show you guys what I mean in a sec, he's basically setting up to come in from the inside, like if one was setting up for a draw, except his aim is set up way closed as if he were hitting a nasty hook, it looks rather stupid. And it sure as heck doesn't work
Mr. Satchmo
urielsatchmoortegaMR.Jinx
Ok check this out, it looks stupid and he thinks it's helping him, I think it's exaggerating his over the top move instead
