I went to the course for the first time with my new Big Bertha Irons and Big Bertha 460. I played my irons very well, but had a wicked bad time with the driver... hard slices to the left (im lefty). My putting was also suspect but I'm going to blame my putter . Overall i was happy with my play considering this was my first time out in about 6 or 7 years.

Any tips on how to straighten out my Driver?

I love my set and I love the driver as well. Without seeing your swing and setup, make sure you've got the ball far enough forward. What causes your slice is probably the face of the club being open at impact vs square. Moving your stance a little forward may be all the adjustment you need. But do yourself a favor, go out to the driving range and work on it and analyze what is happening during your swings. If you don't feel comfortable with that approach, by all means seek advise from a professional instructor. In most cases they will see things that you wouldn't be able to for a hundred rounds.

Good luck and let us know how you progress. A year ago I maxed out at a 36.4 HC index, today I'm at a 26.8 and am still improving.

I got a BB460 this year and I have been having some slicing issues too. It is me though and not the club. There are lots of threads already discussing how to fix your slice, just do a search.

Light grip,make sure your turning your shoulders and not over swinging and brace that left leg so you don't go back with the club on your back swing.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
