Hey guys
Need some of your expertise here. I'm a high (19 ) hanicapper, and I am just about ready to give this game up...My iron and wedge game ( pro here said I have the short game of a scratch golfer ) are in great shape, but my drives and fairway woods are killing me. With my irons & hybrids I have a straight to draw pattern, sometimes a pull, yet my Drives & fairway woods are generally a fade to slice. I'm not a huge hitter, so when I get in the rough because of that fade / slice, I generally have too many yards to cover and it takes me at least a couple shots out of that to get to the green. What confuses me is that on video, my swing is too steep, and a pro here said that is leading to the pulls with the irons, but how does this make sense with slicing the driver? I also get nearly 5000 rpm of backspin with my driver
I make compensations for that, then I hit a low pull! He has me working on a takeaway drill, and I think that will help. Lately though, I just don't even feel comfortable even setting up with the driver, but I keep playing it because I need to figure it out to get to be the golfer I want to be.....
BTW - is there a TGM instructor in the Baltimore area? I really want to get this fixed!
