I have a problem with my drives that they consistently curve severly to the right as soon as i hit them. This happens every time. I just got a new driver callaway hyper x tour and the first few shots with it have been fine but now its back to my old ways and what i was like with my old driver. I have a g5 5wood and i have no problems hittin it straight at all.

Did this happen with your previous driver?

What shafts are in the 5-Wood and the driver (current and previous)?

To furthermore add to this:

If you have a stiff shaft and you do not have a fast swing speed, It may do this. I remember hitting a stiff shaft and I did the exact same thing, no matter how I hit it.

Try choking up on the shaft a little and see if that helps. You may be pulling your hands through too fast with the club behind. A pro should be able to help you correct this. Try swinging at 80% instead of a full power swing. That should help too. If not, come to Michigan and I'll give you lessons.

new driver is stiff dunno what the old one is and think the 5 wood is just regular. was trying out new drivers and the pro said i had to get stiff for my swing speed that a regular would be no good to me. i might try get a lesson at the local range and see what the pro there says.

Check out the old driver's shaft. I'll bet, from what you said, that is was R-Flex and you hit it just fine.

By the way, which pro said to get stiff flex? Your teacher? A pro at your club? Or the guy at the shop?

Chances are the shaft is not the issue. Can you tell my why someone with a 26 cap would consider buying a "tour" driver? Typically, "tour" drivers are setup with open faces and a fade bias. This could be what is causing the issue, although I am not sure of the exact setup configuration of that club. If the ball is starting right and curving right, chances are you aren't squaring the club face. Post a video of your swing if possible.

OK, the pro at the shop is selling what he has on hand, more likely than not. I'll bet if you get an R-Flex Mid kick point shaft in just about *any* driver you'll hit it better than your current one. If you get the clubhead and loft right, you'll do great.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
