I hit my irons pretty straight. They are old Hogan Apex Edge forged irons. However, I hit my driver and fairway woods with a huge hook somehow. I have been using an Adams ST driver (10.5 degree loft, R flex) for the last two years. I can hit it between 260-290 yards consistently. I just can’t seem to hit many drivers straight except this one, but on miss hits the steel tip on the driver just kills my distance. I have to have regular flex too even though my swing speed is 105 MPH. With a stiff flex I can’t seem to get any air under the ball and can’t shape my drives. I have been using a Ping i15 5 wood for the last few months because supposedly it is fade biased, but I hook that thing terribly too. Same with the i15 hybrid (20 degree loft) So my question is what driver/fairway wood/hybrid would be best for me since I hook my woods so much? I seem to hit the Adams driver with less hook, maybe because the face is square. I’m not sure if the face being square is just a mental thing for me, but it works with the Adams.

Best thread title ever.  And working on your swing would probably be more beneficial then a new driver...if that doesn't work go try some out at golf galaxy or whatever.

If all else fails, call Jack Hamm.


would this be a straight up trade or would it be Driver+Fairway for a hooker and say a 6 pack?

Also, I'm unclear, are looking to trade the clubs for a hooker or a hooker for some clubs?

You must love your hooker. Most of us just pay them to leave. You're buying yours golf clubs? Julia Roberts territory, buddy.

Current Gear Setup: Driver: TM R9 460, 9.5, Stiff - 3W: TM R9, 15, stiff - Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Black, 18, stiff - Irons: Callaway X Forged 09, 3-PW, PX 5.5 - SW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 54.14 - LW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 60.12 - Putter: PING Redwood Anser, 33in.


Well, there are fade-bias drivers (sweet spot closer to the toe) and drivers with an open face angle (help you start the ball to the right).  Maybe these can help?

Are you sure these are hooking (turning left in-flight) and not being pulled (starting left and going straight)?

    • Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end. 
    • OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
    • Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.
    • Hole in one is nice, but those low rounds stick in my memory better. I have two holes in one (and a third on a pitch and putt course which I count as a half). I've shot in the 60s three times in the last 10 years or so and I remember each one pretty well. I'd take the low round.
    • Would You Rather #68: Would you rather make a hole-in-one on a perfectly struck shot, during a round where you otherwise played pretty poorly.  or  Would you rather play well all day and beat your personal best by let's say 3 strokes, but with no eagles.    I'd take option 2.   Although option 1 is always exciting, and rewarding. playing well all day is very exciting because I can also do the opposite.
