I was improving fast and really enjoying golf. A few months ago I started playing consistently in mid 90s and feeling very close to break 90. My weak point was the Driver.

Suddenly, about a month ago I began controlling the driver better and hitting it quite well... but... since then I cannot hit a iron at all. It seems to get worse every time I play :(

Most shots are terrible slice.

Is this a known bug?

In my Bag:

Big Bertha 460 11* Driver
Big Bertha 3 Wood
Staff Hybrid 21* Staff Hybrid 24* Big Bertha 08 5-SW Irons Lob Wedge Vokey Oil Can 60* Newport 2 Studio Style Putter Balls


I am one who has had similar problem and still facing it. There is a great chance u have an out to in swing, meaning on your backswing your pulling out wide and when coming down on the ball you are coming inward. Also watch your elbows and watch how much you elbow is bending. If those aren't the problem then it may be from pulling your body with your club causing you to follow it and make your swing pattern way off track.

I'm one who has had this problem for a long amount of time and have analyed it to the point where i almost have it solved. Btw if you are an aggressive ball hitter try and slow down your swing and it'll diminish the out and in or over elbow bending.

In my Black'n'Red :

Driver: R7 TP 460cc 10.5* Reax 65 stiff shaft
3 Wood: Tour Impact 15*
Irons: Tour Impact 3-PWWedges: Vokey Oil Can Spin Milled 54.10, Golfco Baron 58* SWPutter: Tracy II 35"Balls: Prov 1Age:16

    • Day 8 - Full swings with my 3H. One of my more consistent clubs, but the sim numbers weren’t good. 
    • Day 260: range session. Worked on my wrist stuff, while still keeping the weight shift stuff. Hit a lot of pull hooks. 
    • Nah. I'll take eyes 2" inside the ball rather than directly over the ball. No good putters have their eyes outside the ball that I've ever seen. Few are over the ball. Almost all are inside somewhere. And the OP said "at least 0.5"."
    • 0.5" inside? Seriously, the ball is just over 2" so .5" inside is only 1.5" from dead center...thats close enough for most people to call it "eyes over the ball". I see people at courses 6" plus inside the ball or even worse, their heads may be over their shoes. That's what you don't want anyone to do. .5" inside for all practicable purposes is over the ball.
    • I used to have a re-gripping issue that caused hooks. The re-gripping happens at the top of the backswing usually in an attempt to get the shaft more horizontal. The solution is simple though. The last three fingers of your lead hand must grip the club firmly through the backswing and at the top. You cannot "relax them" or let them loosen at the top. If you're trying to get to parallel you need to do it with more rotation and not loosening the grip. Anytime you loosen those three fingers at the top, you will ALWAYS regrip the club into a hooded position. Sometimes that's the only fix you need. I would at least try that before trying to rehab your swing.
