I think purcahsing a driver with such a high amount of loft is one of the biggest mistakes that you can make. A higher lofted driver is an absolute band-aid solution to your issue after viewing your swing and it is obvious that you don't hit the ball consistently enough to really benefit from the therotical idea of a higher lofted driver anyway. You will still have the inconsistent shots with the higer lofted driver that you suggested which, makes it clear that the issue is your swing. That said, you look like you have the ability to generate a good amount of power and with proper lessons, could probably develop a swing that is a little more mechanically sound and consistent.

I agree, Judging by the fact that you said you were still there your moment still isnt bad at all. You seem to have a "smooth" swing, not all robotic like most people I see with your stance. Id start by standing up straighter and standing closer to the ball.

Guys...

That's his setup . Seriously, that must be fixed before anything else.

Yes that setup needs a ton of work but when saying he should stand up straighter and closer to the ball should help with his setup....

well i played yesterday and hit nothing but hooks after the 1st hole. Hooks alll damn day. Yea I need work on one thing, driving. I forward press my irons, but nothing like this. For instance on 2 different par 5's, I was 100 yards off the tee and finished the hole with a 6 foot par attempt on both. Both were uphill 520-40 yrd par 5's. Sadly in that video, i hit one slight hook and 10 well hit balls. I got some work to do.

charging the camera,,,it has video. I will tee up 14 shag balls in a line and hit 7 w new driver 7 w old driver...so no editing will be needed. maybe an hour cuz turkey time in 1:20

Do you think you could just use YouTube next time? I just sat through a 30 second advertisement, and then an error message popped up.

With a swing speed like yours, you might want to consider scrapping a lob wedge or hybrid and carry both drivers and decide which one to use depending on the conditions, thus maximizing the strength of your game.

Way too much loft for that swing speed. I'm about the same and I have a 6 degree driver.

did you get custom fitted for 6*?

I wouldn't have thought many pro shops would fit people for a 6* driver

    • Well, it was four years ago, but… yeah.
    • It's still moving, but it's not very fast (which "almost" might cover), and it begins slowing down around P5.5 to P6 in most good players, for a bunch of reasons. The math gets pretty complex pretty fast seeing as how we have two hands, the club is acting on them while we're acting on the club, etc.
    • I was talking to a buddy of mine and he said he stock a GPS tag in his golf bag. Seems like it might be a good idea. What do you all think? Have any of you put one in there?       
    • I am six and a half minutes into this video and honestly don't think I can handle any more of it. I do see some of my swing in his - sucks it inside and gets across the line at the top. He also looks like he comes OTT a little, but is then very in to out. That's probably my cluelessness about the swing showing up though. Did I hear him say he's 15* in to out? That's insane and not something I would think anyone would want to do. I'm surprised he put this out there if his goal is to sell his method to other people, you'd think he'd find someone good who uses it to model it, not himself.
