hi, I'm pretty new here I have been looking around for a few months but I have been playing regularly about a year now. I shoot on average about mid 90s latley and im confident if I fix my driver I can take several strokes off. For the most part I hit my irons consistently, I have a natural slight fade with them but can hit a slight draw by keeping a square club face and slightly moving my feet alignment. My issue is with my driver, I occasionally can hit it sort of straight, either slight draw or slight fade but most of the time I have a what I believe a slice it starts out straight than slices right hard, sometimes in the rough sometimes the hole to the right fairway, wOuld this primarily be caused by club face issue or swing path... I am still trying to learn what causes ball flight laws but is taking some time to grasp, any tips or drills to try would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue when i first started. I fixed it... and now for some reason I have it again. The first time I fixed it because my grip wasn't good. My club head was open at impact. So switched grips and i was nailing them down the fair way so take a look at that..

Once I fixed my grip I started hooking the ball hard which again was a grip problem (my club head was closed at impact). So now i`m back to slicing the ball and i think it has to do with my over swing path haha.. Good luck

I shoot 90's and the occassional 80's . I recently and finally learned to cure my slice by rolling my wrists on impact with my driver. It took of time and practice to get comfortable with my timing but the results have been amazing. Ive learned by doing this I can add a slight fade that works great on doglegs or just crush it straight depending on the how hard I roll my wrists. Its worth a shot.

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
