Depends on the situation. Alot of times I'll just take a 4i and punch out to the fairway, other's I'll take out driver and try for the green. It's really situational.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

not really. this wouldn't be a full swing driver mind you, more of a punch, with the intention to keep it low and straight.

Driver is a great club for keeping the ball low. I use it for punching under low tree branches all the time. Used it for both my tee shot and my 2nd shot on the par 5 11th hole on my home course yesterday. The result was that the 3rd shot was from the fairway at about 90 yards. If I had used any other club than the driver on the 2nd shot, I'd have either hit the tree with totally unknown results, or I'd have had to just pitch out to the fairway, leaving more than 200 yards for my 3rd. The driver is a valuable tool and it is good for much more than just tee shots.

I usually use a 3 iron to punch out, but I have a crazy high ball flight, If I have room I can prob hit a 6 iron up and over a tree. Its just that rediculous.

I've never thought of using my driver, that's a great idea.

Its actually called a

stronger loft when the club has less loft. As for getting out of the trees it is highly situational for me. I can shape the ball fairly well, and I have a low ball flight so a punch 4 or 5 iron usually does the trick.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
