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?

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
