My Swing (JapanDave)

I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 9

My typical ball flight is: complicated

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver has too much spin

So I have been told my driver creates too much bacspin which means my 3 wood goes almost as far as my 1 wood in most cases. I have a club head speed of about 135 mph with a 45" Driver . I can probably go a little faster if I went to the rang a bit more, but my driver just does not go a far as I would expect. In the below video is the first time I have been to a driving range in about 4 year and I also was placing the ball a lot closer to the left foot than I normally would, hence the slice shots being in abundance.

Funny thing is , when I try to go the other way I over correct and and I literally hook the ball quite considerably.

I see what you are saying. I just recieved a 48" long driver and the swing weight seems to be about E2. And no matter how hard I swing it I can't get over 133-136mph head speed. I did a rought check of the current driver I am using and it is about a D2 swing weight, which gives me about 136mph. Funny thing is that the longer driver makes me more upright and I tend to draw the ball a lot more. However, if I really want to swing fast , the outside-in swing is the fastest 'for me'.
