I just recently went to the range and have been trying to find what I have been doing wrong on My drives. I have always hit in between what I would consider a hook and a fade. So today I decided to take a more closed face grip and it reduced my fade and even went dead on b@ll$ straight at 200+ yds. The Thing Is I dont want to go forever with changing my grip.

So My question is:
1)What training aids would help me
2)What of the following could be effecting my hook/fade is it:
a.Wrist
b.Coming from outside in
c.stance
d.elbow bend

My personal opinion is that I have "no swing." By that I mean, I dont have a consistant swing. I was also wondering if I should take lessons before I get into a bad consistent swing. Or should I get a bad consistent swing so I can have something That A Instructor Can work with. Man those straight shot felt great

you are asking all the right questions, I would work on the basic golf swing by working on the chipping and pitch shots within 30 - 50 yards. Don't practice with the driver until you can hit solid pitch shots. just my 2 cents.

I too need a bit of help or advice. I am back into golf after a 7 year absence where i did not touch a club (my wife has been fighting cancer during this period). I used to set up with a closed stance and take it inside. I have been getting caught back on my right side and do not seem to have club head speed or have a good finish.

The other day I tried to swing more like Nicklaus, chicken wing at the top, take club back with good extension and feel I was building up power. I also weaken my grip from very strong to strong. Doing this I got my weight transferred and developed darn good club head speed. I do not feel the club dropping into the slot; in fact the swing seems to be a bit more one plane IMHO.

Any thoughts on why this swing change other than the weight transfer is working for me? My ballflight is higher and I can draw or fad,e where i used to hit a consistent draw; so I can still work the ball as needed.

Thanks for your thoughts and have a great week.
