Are you consistent with your driver?

[ronaldkuntoro]

Are you consistent with your driver ? means that most of your tee shots are on the fairway.

If yes, how hard do you swing with your driver? 100%, 90%, 80%?

What is your shot pattern? straight, draw, fade?

I played for the first time in a year on the weekend. I'll give you the simple answer to this question...no.

I swung about 80% with a lovely tempo, but I just couldn't keep it in the fairway. Had a nice fade on the ball though, just couldn't judge it right just yet. It'll come.

No. 1st tee on a new course yesterday I pulled it into the junk with the D, so I forced myself to stick with the 3w all day and I had a much more enjoyable time with a lower score.

I am actually very consistent with my driver. I swing about 85%. I also will have a slight 5-7 yrd draw.

[jlh1508]

It is getting closer.


I would say my swing is 85% and the shot has become virtually straight but I can slightly draw/fade the ball when needed. I am not hitting fairways as much as I would like, but my misses are much better

[misty_mountainhop]

Not consistent enough! A bit better with my new toy (wonderful shaft) though. IF, and it's a big if(!), I swing within myself (~80-90%) I'm usually about ~70-75%. Been trying to groove a power fade but am backsliding to my old draw so I think I'll stick with that. The trouble is it's a driver....it's meant to go miles.....you're meant to swing out of your shoes . Gotta love this game.

I'm pretty consistent...usually a 5-10 yard draw pending wind...

[thrasher]

Horribly inconsistent with the driver most days and I tend to hit somewhere around 30-50% of fairways. When I DO hit my driver well, I usually shoot lights out b/c my confidence goes through the roof.

I usually swing at 85%, its a good tempo for my driver. I usually hit the ball pretty consistant, about a 2 yard draw, or a 2 yard cut. My issue is my alignment, i will start shifting my aim to the right to much, then i will start pulling the ball..

For the most part I am pretty consistent. I don't hit a ton of fairways, but I don't miss by much either. Usually if I am off the fariway it isn't by much and is just in the rough on the same hole. I am not that wild off the tee so I will rarely lose a ball OB or in a hazard with a driver. It happens every once in a while, but not enough that I am concerned about it.

Ever sinc I switched from the sumo 5000 stock shaft and put in a ust v2, I am hitting about 70% of the fairways, which is a big improvment for me. I am hitting about 90% power, and am getting about 315-325 yards. I am trying to force myself to slow down and remembering to chocke down alittle. I am also learning to hut a stinger so I fan put the ball in the fairway and by using about 220 yards of LOW carry, and letting the ball rolling 50-60 yards. This technique is really helping.

[sean_miller]

Fairly consistent - my G10 is the largest driver (by far) I've ever used, so it's pretty hard to miss the centre of the face. Shot shape is very straight.



On Sunday I topped a driver (on 18) after 5 really good ones throughout the round (only used driver for 6 holes - course neither long nor wide enough for driver on the other "driving holes").

[Scott_K]

My driving is streaky. I like to go after it so probably end up in that 90-100% area. When I drop to the 80% range, it feels like I'm stearing it too much. Looking to change the shaft to keep the dial set at "grip n rip". My good shots have about a 5 to 10 yard fade, but I do hit a few into the trees and lose a couple per round.

[ncb09]

I am pretty consistant with my driver! ive always had a slight fade... but have with buying a r7 have countered that into a nice draw!
I usually like to hit at about 90-95% and have a good fairway percentage!!

[granitegolf]

It's one of my favorite clubs. Hit 11 fairways yesterday at Indian Peaks. Nine of those with driver and the ones I missed were in the second cut. Averaged 303 off the tee with a couple at 330 down wind. Shot my best at the peaks with 1 under! It's the new Ping I15 with the pured Maymiya shaft- damm I love it.

Usually. Swing about 85%, feel confident with the driver about 75-80% of the time.

[a.youden]

this is a tip my coach said once, if you hit a slice you are hitting it to hard! slow it down and you will get the same distance and you might even get a draw like i did! slow and steady, not rive at it!

[soon_tourpro]

60% at average over the last 3 seasons.
swing at 80%+
