I've been Playing Golf for: 2yrs

My current handicap index or average score is: 12

My typical ball flight is: High Fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Super high ball flight with driver.

Hi guys im new to the forum only a few posts old. I came to this site looking for some help. I heard alot of great things. I want to apologize for the vids all i had was an iphone but hopfully you all can see and help. I just got my driver reshafted so i hiad to go out and hit it today. Its a taylor made burner 9.5 super fast x stiff. My ball flight either balloons in the air or a high fade. Sometimes I get the penetrating low ball flight but then it seems to hit a wall and plummet down. Any tips would be appreciated.

In the vids im not swingging a hundred percent because i pulled my hammy last week in baseball. Thanks for the comments and help.

Micky, welcome to TST!  Checking out your swing - the first thing I would modify/update is your grip.

1.) Grip the club with your left hand such that the first knuckle on the index finger is placed onto the side of the shaft (target side).

2.) Then the club should run up to your left pal and exit where the meaty pad is on your left palm (see the photo below).

3.) You will know you have the club in the correct location of the left palm if you can hold the club like the 2nd photo below... As the left index finger and pad of the palm will hold the club snug.

4.) Your left thumb will be placed on top of the shaft.

5.) Then your right hand (plam) will cup the left thumb.

6.) Make sure your right thumb is on the target side of the shaft (left side).

7.) Your right index finger - first knuckle will be on the aft side of the shaft (rear side).

You should feel pressure in your left thumb - by your right hand firmly holding the club.  Once you fix this - then we can look at other mechanical changes to help you strike the ball better.

Changing the grip is going to take some time getting used to.  But you gotta hit balls with the new grip before it gets ingrained and you trust it.  I'd recommend that you take some new vids with the grip change so we can see the grip - and then also comment on the swing based on plane/setup/etc.

Best,

Beach
