Hi guys, I'm new here, I have been reading this forum for some time and wanted to post. I have only been playing for about a year and a half and really struggle with my driving. No matter how I stand, hold the club or anything my drives always swings right everyone. I currently have just a standard Wilson set up, nothing too exciting and was wondering if the RBz would help me keep the ball straight. It's my drive that let's my play down and something needs to be done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

no, the driver won't help you IMO. I would focus on fixing the swing first or taking a lesson of 2 to see what is going on. Now, that being said, there are drivers that can help but i don't care what driver someone tells you will work, i wouldn't spend the money until you know. If you are swinging every ball to the right i would assume you are contacting the ball with a slightly open face. This means that maybe you are not fully releasing, standing incorrectly or your grip needs work. I am also assuming its NOT a slice but more of a push or fade to the right. I struggle with the same thing every once in a while. I also fell into the trap of buying lots of drivers to help cure my issues.

If you really want a new driver the Cobra Bio cell or bio + may be worth it. I have been driving with that one and its a forgiving driver. Still push a few right but i found that i was most comfortable swinging that driver. But as with any driver get fitted by someone who knows what they are doing. Most drivers today come at 45.75" and that is long and for new golfers this can cause fits. But getting fitted they may cut it down for you depending on your swing, size etc...

    • I am fascinated by this article. Given so many are upset, I would love to see how the calculations changed for them. In the USA, it likely reduced handicaps, at least for me. In the UK it appears to inflate handicaps but not uniformly?

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
