Hello everyone, new to TST. Took up golf about a year ago, over the last couple months I have started to get a little more serious about it and really try to work on my swing. Any help would be appreciated!

I've been Playing Golf for: About a year

My current handicap index or average score is: 26.9

My typical ball flight is: Starts out straight, hooks left

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Tee shots with a Driver or 3 Wood

Welcome to the forum @Gerhardt12 Hooks can be caused by a number of things. For me, my path was coming over the top (out to in) with the club face closing before impact. What helped change this was getting me weight more forward at impact. Check out these threads and especially the weight forward key.

I also agree with @boogielicious o get your weight more forward going into impact. The other flaw I see is in the way you use your wrists. You appear to be cupping the right wrist in an attempt to lengthen your backswing but you loose that wrist angle as soon as you start the downswing and flip the hands through impact. You can find the drills and some explanations for them in this thread. http://thesandtrap.com/t/36669/maintaining-the-flying-wedge

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
