Can't vote. I fight a push.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

When I first started golf, I fought a low pull-slice. Then I figured out how to close the clubface and turned it into a pull-hook. Then I figured out how to better swing the club coming more from the inside. The tendency now is to flatten the shaft a bit too much on my downswing resulting in a push hook. When I get quick with the shoulders from the top it turns back into a pull hook.

My option ain't on there, I fight a push right. This really happens when i'm trying to play a draw off the teebox or on the fairway. I just leave the ball hanging right. If this starts to happen consistently during a round, I just start playing around with a powerfade.

Right now I tend to fight a hook. I used to fight a push, but I made some swing changes which caused me to start hitting a hook.
This has forced me to change to a weaker grip and Im still getting used to the different feel of my new grip.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

You don't have mine either-- I fight a ball flight that's about 8 inches above the ground before skittering off into the underbrush.

My woods I hit dead straight. My irons tend to fall off to the left a yard or two. I can hit a soft fade, though.

You fight a dead straight ball flight with your woods?

I was kind of asking what your miss was, you should have one, if you don't you should play in the PGA man. And seriously, where are all my pull slicers at? I seen dozens of them at the range.

Worm burners notwithstanding, I actually voted pull-hook. On the range, it's usually closer to a dead pull, but usually hooks if anything. On the course I more occasionally run into the pull slice, really only with my 5W.

    • I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
    • There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please. 
    • Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).
    • Day 2 (3 May 24) - Played 18 with the Men’s group today….a fun round in which my elderly neighbor was part of the foursome I was in.  
    • You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
