The last few days at the range I havent been able to get my drives consistenlty in the air. The ball is flying to low for my liking. i feel like all my weight is on my bag leg after I hit the ball. Again the ball is going to low. Anytips are appreciated.

PS Im hitting my irons unbelievable and i am having trouble with the 3 wood also

I had the same problem. You might be swaying your hips forward. If so do this drill. Put a straw in your mouth and point it at the ball and swing. While swinging keep the straw pointed at the ball. This drill really helped me a lot.

Have you tried putting the ball more forward in your stance?

Well yeah basically, especially for the driver because the ball is so far forward in your stance. I would say it is usually a good thought though. I am thinking you are coming in too steep with your driver. Experiment with shallowing your swing plane just a bit. What may be suitable for your irons may not be with your driver. Standing just a bit further from the ball will shallow it out a bit. I loop the club back to a more shallow position as I move to the top to help out so I can be assured of coming from the inside. But you may not want to introduce something like that into your swing. Maybe some others may have suggestions about shallowing out a bit. That has been my major improvement lately. I am launching the ball much higher.

I was hitting my drives really low too over the weekend. And here all i went and did was tee it up a little bit higher and it was good height and distance.

My son is 14 years old also. keep at it you will work it out if you haven't already done so.

My son loves golf second only to basketball but I think golf is closing in on basketball.

When you get a chance watch these golf fundamental video below:

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭

      Phillyk is very close by. Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, but not always the case. IMHO, green speeds are a huge variable and can effect score variation from week to week or month to month significantly. Our own course that is running at about 8-9 depending on the week/day, can run up to 12 (no kidding) in peak months around certain event, and most like me score 3-4 shots higher on an average, missing a lot of 3-4 footers. There are any PCC adjustments that I am aware of. Have you every played their course? I am betting $20 you will find some answers if you haven't already.

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.
