My game is really starting to come together lately and if I could just straighten out my woods and driver I'd be perfect.

I have a nice little draw with my irons at the moment but I can't seem to repeat with the woods/driver.

I usually have a gigantic fade. Sometimes I can play it, but most of the time it will trickle way out of the fairway right.

Do ya'll have any tips or anything for me to practice?

Typically when you swing a driver, and if you are hitting up you will have the ball more forward. This shifts the swing path to slightly inward because the club goes from in to out to out to in (on an arc). If you are hitting a draw with the irons it is because the ball is being struck first with a descending blow, and the ball is on the in to out part of the swing path.

Also hitting a fade with a driver isn't a bad thing.

This is awesome. Thank you so much.

And yeah I like hitting a fade with driver, it's just fades too far for me to control right now. Always running off into the rough even the I'm aiming way down the left side of the fairway. I just feel like maybe if I learn how to play a draw then I can go back to the fade and it will be a little more straightened out.

If you are aiming left, make sure you are aiming left with out opening up your body to the left. Its a subtle thing, this way you are not causing the swing path to be more left (more curve).

Yeah I actually aim left in a slight draw position because I know if I open up.....I'm fading OB lol.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
