Hey guy's

I played my first round of the year two weeks ago, and my driving was terrible. I kept hooking the ball with my driver, my iron play was not to bad. I usually shoot around 85-90 on par 72 courses sometimes higher on bad days . Ive been playing golf for about 6 years but usually only play 15-20 rounds a year, I only have 1 playing partner and he can't always play, I love golf so, this summer I'm going to try and get out and play more which means going to the course as a single.

For the last 6 years I've been using the baseball grip. Today I went to the range, wanting to practice my driving with some iron work. Instead of the baseball grip today I used the interlock grip, tried the vardon also but didn't like the feel. I hit some good drives along with good irons but take 10 shots maybe 6 were good ones. My driver had long distance but a huge slice. My irons were straight most of the time, but I had the odd ball that would go 15 feet, or sometimes they would leak right, I was taking nice divots with the shots the ones I didn't I would skull.

Here two videos of my swing hopefully you guys can give me a few pointers.

Thanks for any help

You are playing the "invisible ball" way to far back in the stance. That could lead to slices and weak pushes. Looks like pretty good posture, may could use a little more bend in the knees? Maybe a little more shoulder tilt with the driver? Also keep your hands out in front.

Agreed with the above post. hands out in front and the ball should be just before your left shoulder, about where an emblem would be on a golf shirt. Also you do seem to be bent over a tad more than needed.

ok heres my opinion

1.your coming over the top,straitin back up a lil move hands a little more to the ball about 2 inches

2.hitting down on ball with driver-move about 2 balls foward in stance

    • By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.

    • Trying to feel bit more external rotation of the trail elbow at A4. I think better than what have ever been able to position it.  Forward lunge at impact still a work in progress.
