So I have a quick question about my swing with a driver.

When I swing my driver, i can't seem to get my hips to turn unless i also pivot my feet like in a baseball swing. Turn on the heel of my left, ball of my right foot. This has helped me cut down the amount of slice that i get and added about 15-30 yards to my drive.

Does this seem wrong or should i stick with what works?

I played baseball for a long time. You probably have too wide of a stance with your golf swing if your hips wont turn naturally and your weight is probably back to far.

I have/had the same problem. I've finally got rid of my pivot and most other "baseball-like" swing problems. The one problem I do still have is keeping my top hand on the club. Alot of times(mostly with my irons) I take my top and off and have a baseball follow-through.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

That is just silly

. During your follow thru, try extending your left arm towards the target, Im pretty sure your rt hand will follow (this is assuming ur righty)

    • Nothing exposes low point control, and for that matter the general quality of ball striking like tight lies. Lol! I am at a crossroad. My days of playing with a super strong left hand grip are coming to an end it seems. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to maintain proper face control through impact as the club face naturally wants to turn over. The quality of strike and ball flight difference when I weaken the grip is stark. Problem is a weaker grip is at odds with my poor sore left forearm which I have been nursing for last few days after 3 days of demanding golf. As of now I will continue my 'transition' to a weaker grip with woods and hopefully my forearm will condition as I go along. Maybe someday I'll get to a normal address with irons too.
