Hello, I am a relatively new golfer. However, I have been golfing for a bit over 2 years now, and I'm plagued by one recurring problem: my drives. I make solid contact and a consisten swing and setup 9 times out of 10, but the ball flight is never predictable from one shot to the next. I golf with a relatively cheap set of beginner clubs that havent been too bad to me. I hit my irons very well, chips usually aren't a problem, and my putting is more than satisfactory for now. I'm wondering if at this point a quality new driver could help me get some consistency and predictability? Right now one shot goes left, one shot goes right, one flies low and fast, and the next sails high and slow. Is getting a new driver a good choice?

If this is happening.......

Eventually, but the best choice for now would be a lesson or two with a pro, combined with a driver fitting to fit a driver head and shaft to your swing speed, tempo, etc.  Randomly buying drivers won't be your best option, but will likely be the most expensive and most frustrating.

    • No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
    • Have you measured? 🙂
    • I'm bad about taking pictures, but here are a few Hole 1 on Duke, looking toward the green. The elevated green with bunkers surrounding it was a theme. The other theme was pin placements that were tough - this one is pretty far left. There were basically no easy pins on this day.     Hole 3 at Pine Needles. An extremely cool hole. Hole 5 at Pine Needles. The picture doesn't do the green site justice. Green of 6 at Southern Pines. A wild green, and a really cool setting at the edge of the property: Hole  Tee shot on 5 at Tobacco Road. Flag is on the flag, the huge fairway is to the right. Hole 8 at Tobacco Road. Downhill, medium length par 3 with this pin in the front part of the green. Really cool looking shot. A look at the pin placement and cottage on Tobacco Road 14. I hit one of my best shots of the trip here, to about 15 feet. 
    • Yes, but season 2 being all of six episodes is a bit of a let-down, even if the season itself wasn't.
    • This is one of the greatest posts I've ever seen in my life on sports message boards like this!! Bravo, Sir!! 👏
