(Little backround info for the question) I haven't been on here much lately so forgive if some of my assumptions or terminology is wrong, but lately i have been trying pretty hard to get my back swing on the line instead of way across, which makes me have under plane issues because I yank it under plane from there and have to tumble late, flip, tilt hard etc. to hit a playable shot.
Well, basically I am pretty close to accomplishing this on the line backswing and when i do get it right, I shallow out just a tad after the transitions, and tumble gently from that position. I hit little baby cuts or straight balls when I do this. And With my driver, I hit about a 5 yard fade, and I used to hit draws with it.
So lately I've noticed if there is a left to right wind in excess of 10 or 15 miles an hour I have a really really hard time hitting a solid shot, with my driver especially. I was so used to hitting draws into these winds to control it, which I know can't really hit consistently with my driver.
Well, now I just hit big old slice, or I try really hard to swing more right and I hit ugly ugly hooks. I even chunked my driver once. I'm thinking it has a lot to with my pivot, maybe not getting enough turn in the backswing or opening too fast and dragging it left because I don't want to go right, but obviously I know that swinging left will make the ball curve left and the wind will make it worse. but if I try to hit draws they are either snappers or start left and go further left. or start right and go further right, and I mean REALLY FAR RIGHT.
May be a dumb mental thing, but I can't hit a good shot in this wind now. Any suggestions on things I could try to maybe alleviate this. maybe something I could work on to hit a draw or a straight shot without hitting these under-plane hooks and left to lefts and right to rights in this left to right wind?
