Hello,

Lately, I have been hitting my driver to the left and, I don't mean 270 yards out and, OB. I mean a Banana Ball to the left . I started playing several years ago and, now I am hovering between an 11 and, 14 handicap. I play 4-5 times per week as I am a disabled Vet. I learned to hit my driver first and, it is my strong point and, it is very frustrating. I am "was" using as you can see below in my sig a Burner tp 2009 10.5 R flex/ I think I might need a stiffer flex as my swing speed must have increased since I started?! I am 33 and, RH. Originally, my SS was 80-85 but, that was about 2 1/2 years ago. Please Advise

So, basically you are hooking the driver. Does it start out left or start out straight? Either way, a banana hook is caused primarily by a closed clubface.

Yes, I am hooking the driver and, I do hit both types of shots both. Sometimes it will appear to go straight and, then ZIP..... to the left like a boomerang or just go left. However, then the next shot will go dead straight perfect! Just when, I think I am back to my usual self and, I tee up the ball on the next tee box to find that I am still doing it. I don't hit slices or, anything to the right just left. "AAGHH"

    • Day 121: did a bit of mirror work with my driver. Working on shortening the backswing.
    • Day 305 - Grip and backswing work. Full swings were bothering the hip a bit. 
    • Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.
    • Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  
    • Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
