I joined a golf club last June and have really got into it it’s become a borderline obsession at this stage. My poor girlfriend is now a golf widow and by the looks of it could be one for years to come. I hit a nice high fade with my driver and draw every other club in my bag. I tend to catch the ball clean off the turf never really taking a divot. My irons when they’re off can turn into a really bad draw or hook. Recently I’ve been trying to keep my knees flexed on the backswing and through the strike to keep myself more over the ball but it’s only helped slightly.

 

 

I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year
My current handicap index or average score is: My current handicap is 11 but for my last 12 rounds I’m averaging 78
My typical ball flight is: Fade with driver and draw with every other club 
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Overdrawing to the point where it’s a pull hook

Check your grip, to my untrained eye your right hand looks a bit strong, which might cause the overdraw you are talking about. I'm not saying it definitely is but might be worth looking at.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
