I had the same problem. You might be swaying your hips forward. If so do this drill. Put a straw in your mouth and point it at the ball and swing. While swinging keep the straw pointed at the ball. This drill really helped me a lot.

Have you tried putting the ball more forward in your stance?

Well yeah basically, especially for the driver because the ball is so far forward in your stance. I would say it is usually a good thought though. I am thinking you are coming in too steep with your driver. Experiment with shallowing your swing plane just a bit. What may be suitable for your irons may not be with your driver. Standing just a bit further from the ball will shallow it out a bit. I loop the club back to a more shallow position as I move to the top to help out so I can be assured of coming from the inside. But you may not want to introduce something like that into your swing. Maybe some others may have suggestions about shallowing out a bit. That has been my major improvement lately. I am launching the ball much higher.

I was hitting my drives really low too over the weekend. And here all i went and did was tee it up a little bit higher and it was good height and distance.

My son is 14 years old also. keep at it you will work it out if you haven't already done so.

My son loves golf second only to basketball but I think golf is closing in on basketball.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
