I am not a PGA instructor or professional, just a hacker, and this might not work for everyone. Yet I am thrilled and would like to pass this along to whoever has similar problems. As stated in an earlier thread, I could not hit my 3 wood at all, mostly from the fairway. And from the tee, along with my driver, I sliced the heck out of both, or would top the 3 wood. Someone mentioned choking up. I tried this, AND, turning my right hand more left(not sure if this stonger or weaker). I was amazed. For my 3 wood, I teed it up pretty higher than I normally did, and I hit it, even though it included the roll, each time, between 215 and 218 yards AND straight as an arrow. I still had problems using this wood of the fairway though. But also, my drives, using my new grip, averaged between 240 and 255 yards, again total with after the roll. Again, straight down the fairway! I just would like to pass this on for anyone to try.


strange, with a slice, that typically comes from an open clubface and rotating your grip to the left would be a weaker grip which would promote an open clubface. But whatever works for you. Maybe rotating to the left causes you to mentally do something that closes back the club face. Good luck and hit em straight.

    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit. 
    • Day 17 (26 Mar 25) -  Big day working on a project at church - therefore it was grab some time with the 9i in the backyard working on pitch and runs later in the day.  Focused on keeping the ball flighted to get some good rollout.  Hit about 20 shots doing that and then moved to the 54 to keep working on getting good torso rotation and not flipping through it.  Was not perfect as there were some bloopers and fliers but overall a good session on distance control.
