I recently purchased a draw driver due to my slicing problem. However, all the rest of my clubs are standard and non-draw. Will this cause a problem with my golf swing eventually?

do you slice on everything? The worst problem that I forsee is that as you correct your slice, you might end up over drawing the new driver.

I have a offset driver and honestly don't notice too much of a difference with it vs. a standard driver. to each there own.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Mostly I slice the driver most. The others seem to go a little to the right but not too much. I'm thinking about using the draw driver until I get a little straighter, then trade it in since it's a taylor made it should have decent resale value. thanks for the help.

I think that people figure if you have a draw driver and hit it perfect it will draw. When I had a lesson the pro hit my 3W (draw) straight as an arrow 5 times.. Would be interesting to see tests with a machine

I would recommend having your local pro help you correcting the slice rather then fiddling with clubs. Nothing wrong with having a draw driver but i would try and get that slice thing looked at.

I think it also might have to do with how they create the "draw" effect. On some clubs it is increased weight by the hosel. Others the face is closed, still others the face is offset. I wonder if you gave your pro a non "draw" model of the same 3 wood would he slice it?

I think this is a great point. I play with an r5 "Draw" driver, and standard irons, and it does not give me issues. I hit a draw on all my well struck stock shots.
