Yeah, I've got a problem with my 3 wood, I'll be hitting it straight all day, I'll pull out my three wood off the deck and bang massive cuts, I'm talking big ones. I heard someone say it could be that the weight of my shaft is to heavy (Grafloy Prolaunch Blue). I'm 15 and I have the average swing speed for that age.

It has nothing to do with the weight of your shaft. You're just not making a similar swing to the one you give it off the tee. You're changing your swing, somehow, because the ball's sitting on the ground, not a tee.

Yup. You're probably trying to swing your hardest, making you swing with your arms which is making you swing out to in.

Does swinging with your arms really do this? My irons were really inconsistent in the weekend. Someone happened to take a picture of my swing and it was all arms. It wasn't just cuts and slices though...Try fat, hooks and pushes and a shank as well!

Are these all other symptoms of lots of arm movement and not enough upper body turn? P.S. Sorry to jump in on your thread....

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Vinsk ·

      I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By Elmer ·

      You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
