hi, I'm pretty new here I have been looking around for a few months but I have been playing regularly about a year now. I shoot on average about mid 90s latley and im confident if I fix my driver I can take several strokes off. For the most part I hit my irons consistently, I have a natural slight fade with them but can hit a slight draw by keeping a square club face and slightly moving my feet alignment. My issue is with my driver, I occasionally can hit it sort of straight, either slight draw or slight fade but most of the time I have a what I believe a slice it starts out straight than slices right hard, sometimes in the rough sometimes the hole to the right fairway, wOuld this primarily be caused by club face issue or swing path... I am still trying to learn what causes ball flight laws but is taking some time to grasp, any tips or drills to try would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue when i first started. I fixed it... and now for some reason I have it again. The first time I fixed it because my grip wasn't good. My club head was open at impact. So switched grips and i was nailing them down the fair way so take a look at that..

Once I fixed my grip I started hooking the ball hard which again was a grip problem (my club head was closed at impact). So now i`m back to slicing the ball and i think it has to do with my over swing path haha.. Good luck

I shoot 90's and the occassional 80's . I recently and finally learned to cure my slice by rolling my wrists on impact with my driver. It took of time and practice to get comfortable with my timing but the results have been amazing. Ive learned by doing this I can add a slight fade that works great on doglegs or just crush it straight depending on the how hard I roll my wrists. Its worth a shot.

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
