Driving struggles and mentality

[Youngbear11213]

I've gone from a bad golfer to a decent one, but one problem that has remained consistent is accuracy with my driver. My common miss is a shot that starts on line, and then goes well right. When I try to correct this, I have been known to hit a low, left hooking shot.

I have taken lessons and brought these struggles up more than once, but nothing seems to stay fixed after my lessons.

My question is, did anyone else go from being super inaccurate with the driver, to accurate? If so, how did you do it? I feel like since I hit well at my lessons, and then poorly later, it is a mental issue. Any insight on how to correct that is appreciated too. I would love to improve my scores since this is my main issue!

Sounds like you have a swing path issue. I would bet that you swing from outside to in. Your clubface is probably pointed at the target, but due to the swing path the ball will slice big time.

The fix could be any number of things. I recommend starting a My Swing thread. There are some very smart people on the forum who could give you some more detailed help.
