If it has a graphite shaft on it then I can't hit it....why?

[jayt0625]

Ok everyone, lately I can not hit anything with a graphite shaft at all. I mean I am not even making good contact. It's almost like I am swinging different or something. Lately I have been hitting 4-irons off the tee just so I know I will hit it out there 210 or so....more with a good roll.....
The biggest problem I have been having is my grip. Not sure why I can't seem to get a comfotable working grip when it has a hybrid, wood or driver head on the shaft. I tend to grip normal with my left hand (rightie) but strong with my right hand and it is impossible to get the clubface square at impact that way. I am pulling my hybrids like crazy, pushing my 3 wood and barely even making contact with the driver. I am playing great golf right now and without having anything higher than a 4 iron to hit. Luckily I can hit it long enough to get around comfortably. I have always been an iron player. It is the strenght of my game hands down. I have never been a good driver or 3 wood hitter but enough to get around the course as needed but lately it is like I forget how to even hit a ball anymore when I use them. The last time I played I left the driver, 3 wood, 2 & 3 hybrid at home. My playing partner thought I was insane but I shot a 79 that day.
Anyone else get this problem or has had this problem and can maybe shine some light on the situation!

You are my twin. I'm very interested in seeing some responses.

LOL, it's like a disease anymore. At the beginning of the season I was hitting my 3-wood like it was my job. 265-275 with a nice slight draw and now I am lucky to even make good contact. Never hit the driver great but that too was working and now it is just taking up space in the bag. Don't even get me started on the hybrids. My new hybrids (Power Play 5,000's) should be at home tonite when I get there, gonna go steel shaft and see if that helps with that problem any.

I figured it out last night and tried the fix this morning at it is better. I was getting the club too much in my finger tips with my left hand (rightie) and this was causing my right hand to not fit together with my right hand. I prefer more of a palm grip than a finger grip. I have very strong hands so it works for me. Had an epiphany (spelling?) last night in my living room when I grabbed a wedge then my driver and I could feel the difference in my grip. Went to the range and it is flying again!

This was pretty much a one-man post show!! Glad to see that you figured it out - those types of issues really make my chili hot.

Rudy - change your grip, and maybe it works for you as well :)
