This video sums up my frustration as a golfer. I can usually hit my irons, hybrid and woods just fine, but when it comes to my driver, consistency is out the window. I imagine I early extend, as seen in the video, with every club, but it’s always most apparent in ball flight with my driver.  This shot happened to fly fairly straight, but often, the ball won’t get more than 10 feet off the ground and severely Duck-hook left. Or, the opposite will happen, with the club face being left wide open and the ball traveling miles to the right.  I feel like I’ve tried everything, trying to feel weight in the heels on the backswing and coming through, weakened grip, keeping head still, right pocket/left pocket back drill, all with the same results.  Anyone out there see anything I’m missing here?  Thanks 

I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 80s
My typical ball flight is: draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is

Turning rates appear to be off, but… can't say, really. We ask three things:

  • FO and DL views
  • Slow motion
  • Good camera angles

It's tough to give a good help without all three things.

You really need to post a video with a ball. People swing differently when they are hitting a ball.

Apologies, I have old eyes.
