I stopped playing golf around a year ago. been back into it for around 3 months. used to play a 5 yard fade and now its like a 20 yard slice or a 10 yard pull. also I'm hitting it thin 1 our to 8 shots.

I've been Playing Golf for: 13 years on and off

My current handicap index or average score is: 90

My typical ball flight is: Fade, Pull, or Slice

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Thin shots, Slice, and Pulls

Here is kind of the bigger issue, saying this with "peace and love" (Howard Stern reference).  Whenever someone gives their take you respond with saying you'll "try it".  In my mind that means you'll

It looks like you're lifting up a bit at impact which is causing the slice/thins.

Check out this thread: . It's an older one but a good one - your hands and thus the clubhead never gain much depth, so they can't be delivered down from the inside at all.

so i read the article and it sounds like you are saying my swing is to vertical and therefore i would have to make a major adjustment to swing inside to out. am i understanding correctly?

Depends what you mean by "major" but yeah you have to gain more depth with your left arm.  It's works too vertically and lifts, causing that shoulder to pop.  I would practice with a tee or glove under your left arm, upper part of the left arm, basically in the arm pit.  Obviously don't let the tee come out ;-) I would start with 3/4 swings at slower speeds.

Yes, particularly since you said this:

No if anything, from where you are right now, you'll gain distance.  If Rickie made a backswing that looked like Bubba's, he wouldn't hit it as far as Bubba.

From you should really be looking at in the video is their hand depth on the downswing ;-)

ok so you guys are saying at the top of my back swing it should be closer to Ricky's? thats the impression i got with the article i read

Most importantly more depth on the downswing, something both of those players do.  From my experience it's easier to get there if your arms don't lift off your body.

Dude...I find it hard to believe your a 14hc with a swing like that, although looks like you could flex your legs a touch more. Anyways..nice swing.

BTW, where is that at..?

      New or Used Driver

      By Supersoft ·

      I am in the market to buy a new or mint+ used driver. I am a high handicap player that usually uses Regular Flex Men's 10.5 degrees and I golf right handed. I can't shot shape the ball and have trouble always hitting the ball in the center of the face and it usually goes off to the right and out of play. I am trying to hit straight all the time so I can hit more fairways, also on off center shots I would like the ball to be in play so I don't sacrifice strokes all the time. I usually look for forgiveness, distance a little distance lost is ok if I am hitting more fairways then that is what i want, adjustable or non adjustable is fine, price is also a factor around 100 but under 300. I also need help getting the ball in the ball in the air and going higher. Any recommendations or other help when buying a driver are welcome and thanks
