Ok, I'm new to golf. I've been improving on my short game but I still cant drive to save my life. When I hit the ball It goes like 50 yards to my right. It starts out kind of straight but curves ALOT and ends up in the trees. I know its hard to figure out whats going on without seeing my swing but I was wondering if someone could take a guess at what I'm doing wrong?

THANKS

I can take a guess. But without a video and much more information, we're kinda shooting in the dark.

I would say your clubface is wide open at impact.

I would try taking a little stronger grip. And I don't mean gripping the club tighter.

Let me know if your have any questions.

      My Swing (tacks451)

      By tacks451 · Posted

      I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
