Went to the driving range again today and hit almost every club decently.

My biggest problem is the 5 wood, i have a new 08 taylormade burner and for some reason the club gives me fits. Every third or fourth swing, i will hit the ball solid and about 200 yds. I would attribute most of the mistakes to my swing, but my friend has a cleveland hi-bore 5 wood which i hit consistanlty solid shots with. Out of about 7 balls i had 1 bad one with the cleveland...

Any help would be appreciated.

In my bag:

Driver: G5
3 wood: Big Bertha Fusion
5 wood: burner Irons: cci cast 4-PW,AWWedge: SV 56*Putter: Ignite 001

you could just feel more confident with the cleveland
possibly you like the way it looks or feels
and the shaft is a possibility

It won't be the shaft.

If your swing is inconsistent it's just a lottery. You could hit 50 balls with any club, irrespective of shaft or shaft flex and you'll hit a few good ones, a few great ones and a lot of ordinary ones. The fact that the club is not suited to you will not result in awful shots. The starting point is a square face at impact. Once you get to a more advanced level you can start to fine tune with shafts. Let's not blame a shaft because someone hits some bad shots on the practice tee. That comes A LOT later.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Down the line and face on from today. Still feeling like I’m sticking the club into a hole in the ceiling above my right shoulder and then big loop inside to start downswing. That’s how it feels. Not how it looks though! Gotta keep working on this for a bit but I see a lot of progress. 😁

      Day 5 (13 Mar 26) - Friday shootout cancelled- made it a practice round working from mixed tees. Plenty of up and down work around greens.  Best was a hole out birdie on the par 3 #5 hole - nice pitch and roll w/Pw from about 10yds off the green - dead center flagstick drop.  Much of round was focused on getting solid weight shift into lead foot.

      Day 208 3-13 Worked on wrist arching and flow. First time hitting reall balls at a range in months. It was nice to see ball flight. Still not sure it beats my backyard practice station.

      Three hole match - microphones on in the cart. It's fascinating listening to them talk about their shots and how they play them. I'm not normally a huge fan of the TM videos - they seem forced to me - but this one doesn't. It's also fun seeing their competitiveness over what on the face of it is a fairly meaningless 3 holes, but they can't help themselves.
