I cant hit any woods off the tee, even my long irons are a crap shoot. I am not sure what changes and is killing my shots but for the first time in my life I almost walked off of a golf course. I hit my 7-pw pretty good,5-6 decent then it all goes to hell. I am going to a golf pro otherwise I may quit, break a club, or take up drugs...

I am hooking the dog mess out of them and they come out very low.

Swing your driver and long irons just like you do your 7-PW... Concentrate on taking half swings.

I will give the half swings a shot. I am not sure what I am doing but not getting off the tee may be the most frustrating thing I have ever done in this game hehe

jack nicklaus advocated one basic golf swing.  like the previous poster said, just swing your driver the same way you swing your 7i.  if you're hitting your 7i through PW fine, then you can hit your other clubs just fine as well.  check this clip out:

I have been having this same issue. In fact I actually did walk off of the course a few days ago after losing 10 balls off the tee on the first 4 holes yikes (5 pro vs before i decided I should quit hitting pro vs ). I haven't been back out yet but I was hitting them on the driving range yesterday beautifully by focusing on taking 3/4 swings and interestingly I was hitting the ball just as far as when I take full swings

:whistle:

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
