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.

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.

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

    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
