Hey this is my first post been looking on here for the last few weeks and think it's great the knowledge the community has collectively. 

 

That being said I wanted to see if anyone could answer my question. 

 

I know my swing is OK etc. And have the ability to play some good golf not great golf but good golf, my driver often let's me down though, causing a slice or a push due to leaving the club face open its the only club I do this with I have a baby draw with all irons, so I was practicing last week and a fellow golfer said why do you lean you're irons forward before you hit like that (forward press) got me thinking so I tried it with driver and boom baby draw again and again and again so consistent, I know I should just take it at its face value but can anyone explain why this is, I guess I'm weird I like to know how things work and why 😂


  • iacas changed the title to Forward Press = Draws with Driver

I wonder what that does to your swing path.  I'm not quite good enough to be able to figure out why, but reading about the ball flight laws (link at bottom of this post) is probably worth doing given the question.  By the way, welcome to TST.

    • Yeah I've been trying to weaken that hand (at the time I was also consciously trying to match clubface to spine)   I've found though weakening that hand kind of exacerbates the hook, I'm guessing a compensation from somewhere else creeps in 🤷🏻‍♂️   I've mentioned in my grip post that when I take my grip at address it is square, but if I stand up out of address and relax my arms it holds the hell out of the club, I have a lesson Tuesday hopefully to help but I just can't fathom why soft arms would hood the club, I would of thought it would open it 🤣
    • Day 6 - Full iron swings; focus was backswing speed and whipping my hands at the ball at impact. 
    • Day 258: did a stack session. 
    • Day 2 (4 Apr 25) - played in the weekly men’s group shootout.  Decent day off the tee and most longer approaches.  Wedges from 70-80 out were off, but green side work was good. Overall a fun day with the crew.  
    • $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.
