I have a quick question. I played about four times in a row last week. I played really really well the first two rounds, decent the third and fourth. In my last two rounds I noticed that when hitting my driver, I was actually breaking my tee's in half every time. I was putting the ball in the fairway, but my trajectory was extremely high, and distance wise I was still relatively about the same.

I was wondering what could cause the tee's to be breaking like this, I have never seen this before? Is it that I have or am swinging at a steep angle? I do believe that my front shoulder is dipping causing me to be uneven on my down swing, leaning forward to much I guess.

Anyway, thanks so much.

Breaking of tees - Hitting down with the driver.
Tees popping out - Hitting up with the driver.

Your ball flight I'm guessing is a ballooning effect and not much roll?

That is true, not much ball roll. I figured that I was hitting down on it. I am not unhappy, I actually think it is just another shot to add to my bag so to speak, just wanted to make sure my assumption of hitting down on the ball was correct.

I suspect your right hand is firing through and snapping the lag at impact.

    • 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.
    • 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.
