Alright. So here's the data from the last three sessions.... just so everybody realizes while I'm hitting great, the vast majority of my clubs circumvent visit normal , while I'm hitting very great perhaps ten yards farther for my irons.. So I'm simply attempting to secure in the draw. My regular swing is a blur. First meeting, slight head wind. Hitting a few pretty fair draws. Second meeting, slight tail twist, however generally right to left, tremendous draws. Today it was so still you could likely hear a ball arrival off a 500 yard tee shot, couldn't barely bend the ball. What truly gets me is the point at which I over misrepresented the in to out activity on my swing a scarcely got any bend. Yet, what was weirdest was I had a ton of these shots that began right and, surprisingly, began to bend back left however at that point they halted recently begun flying straight just subsequent to seeming to start bending back. So they turning out to be all the more a push. What was more unusual was the point at which they arrived at the Apex of their flight and began to fall they floated from left to right. However, there was zero breeze and they started bending from right to left before they slowed down... it occurred again and again. Probably the weirdest ball flights I've at any point seen. What's happening?

It’s difficult to tell without seeing your swing. Start a My Swing thread in the Member Swings section.

Were these range balls? They can certainly give you some interesting ball flights.

This is what I was thinking as well.

Where is the data? If someone says they are providing data I am expecting things like a printout of launch monitor data, not just a couple sentences worth of observations. That does very little to help us identify what your issue is.

wtf do those parts in bold actually mean?

Based on what? What was your swing path normally and what was your swing path when you "over misrepresented the in to out activity" ? Because good chances are you weren't actually shifting your club path nearly as much as you thought you were.

You didn't give us hardly any information to go off of. No swing/ball data, no video, just a couple sentences describing ball flight of various driving range sessions. Driving range balls are notoriously bad too as others have mentioned.

I'm less sure of what's happening in this topic than I was watching the Oscars "highlights" yesterday morning.

I agree. It could be the range balls. Cull out the old smooth ones. They can travel like a knuckleball in baseball. It's not worth hitting them. Choose only the newer balls that have well-defined dimples.  

Until my course put in the stupid ball dispensing machine I would hand pick each and every range ball for my session.

You can still hit them as a warm up, check your ballstriking, etc. Just don’t judge anything based on the flight.

You may want to consider explaining your question in simpler terms?

Also some video would go a long way to us being able to help you. I'd suggest down the line video in this case.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.
