I've been Playing Golf for: Many years on and off

My current handicap index or average score is:20

My typical ball flight is: High and long but with an ocassional push

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Fairway wood off the deck


Videos:

Driver: Wilson Deep Red
Fairway wood:Wilson Staff Spine 15 degree 3 wood
Hybrids: Wilson Staff DXI 19 degree
Irons:Wilson Staff Di11 4-PW,GW,SW

Wedge: Cleveland C15 Lob
Putter: Wilson Staff Vizor

GPS: Golf Logix


Some additinal information on my swing. I am using a 3 wood in the video and I struggle at times with consistent contact. One swing off the tee I can bomb it long and straight and the next tee could be a topped ball or pull hook. My normal ball flight is pretty straight with an occassional push which is usually playable. I am 6'3'' tall and about 260 lbs and am in my early fifties. I have no problem with getting the ball up and have great distance when I make good contact. Anything you guys can pick up on my swing that I can work on to improve will be appreciated. Thank you.

straighten your left arm, it should never bend during the swing. Next time it's easier to analize if you post in slow motion. Also try not to scoop under the ball but to hit ball first then letting the club descend into the ground to take the divot, this will make fairway wood shot from deck as easy as from tee(almost).

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
