Hey everyone,
I recently have made a fairly significant swing change and so far results are looking to be in the right direction. Although, my new swing is making good results on my iron game, I am still struggling with the new swing on my woods and driver. Should my swing remain the same for all clubs (alignment obvious changes for each club) or should my swing for my woods differ slightly? Any thoughts? Any tips?

Thanks ahead for your replies!
Steve

I try and make the same swing with every club in the bag. Obviously a flop shot or punch would require a special swing, but for my standard high fade I just take the same swing with gap wedge through driver. Usually the results are completely different, but trying to make your muscles change every other shot would be difficult for anybody.

How about you tell us:

a) what you were doing b) what changes you've made c) what results you've seen with the new swing with both your irons and woods?

Wow, i'm running it to the exact same problems.

I was told at first to keep my left elbow locked straight. While doing this I i could not draw the club back very far. Now I've "re-vamped" my swing to where i tuck my right elbow in on the back swing and i've started hitting the ball straighter and further (on my irons). I just got my new driver (in sig.) yesterday and went to the range, and this swing doesn't work well with it. My OLD driver (quadpro 8.5), this worked fine.

About 1/3 shots was good with my driver, meaning distance was 220-250 and VERY straight. The others were either short and straight, or far and slicing.

I know i'm doing something different and not swinging consistently, i'm going to sign up for lessons next week to see if they can't help me fix this. Unless you guys have some miracle tips that help on the course tomorrow!!!
I'm only at 13 clubs in the bag, what do you reccomend as a 14th? My foot wedge?

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • 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.

    • 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.
