Over the past couple years I have ingrained a super inside out swing that I seemed to work great but most recently my push draws are either too much push without enough draw or too straight with too much draw and occasionally even too much push and draw that ends up in the middle of the fareway but loses a lot of distance.

How do I tighten the cone on this shot. I already play a nearly weak grip with an openinsh stance and I now occasionally hit a draw when I purposely try to hit a small fade. I certainly don't want to try to swing more OTT to offset the inside out swing, that seems silly after all the work I put in to get it where it is.

The bane of my golf game right now is watching what looks like a perfectly stripped three wood slowly crawl clear from the right side rough to the left side rough or OB. :( It's not a violent hook but just a gradual right to left that covers a lot of ground laterally. If I consciously open the face even a fraction I hit a straight push.

I have to open the clubface and really extend with my legs and spine into impact to prevent a straight over draw.

I had the same problem and what I noticed is that my ball position had crept a little to far toward my left foot and caused my hips to be open at address. I would look for something real simple like that,since you obviously know your own swing and like you said it was a lot of work ( I know how much) to get there and the whole swing can't go south. good luck,cheers

Open your stance and swing the same. Im learning to control my path and most importantly ball flight by just making the same swing and just playing with my stance.

This struck me as a really strange comment at first and then I realized that you are 18 years old. Kids do say the darndest things. :)

I'll be sure to pick one up next time I'm at Golf galaxy.

Sounds to me like you are swinging too much in to out. Check for the following faults that can cause this: A) ball position too far back B) flexing your right knee too much on the downswing C) not continuing to rotate your hips after impact d) swinging your hands too vertical in the follow through.

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
