I smother hook my drives & trajectory is way too low when I set up stacked, even when I "hang back" & when I move the ball forward etc. The more I move the ball forward the more shut the club-face is when I get to the ball. I am not staying on my back leg too long which would snap the face shut. I play a weak grip & I do not shut the face during the back-swing. I believe it is an issue at the lower part of my downswing or near impact for me so tips on keeping the face square through impact would be appreciated. No it's not the shaft :-)

Check out these threads,

If you still struggle then create your own "My Swing" thread (here: http://thesandtrap.com/f/4180/member-swings) and post a video of your driver swing.


Please read this before hand and also be mindful of your camera angles.

Since the driver is hit more forward in your stance it could be possible you are letting your wrists break too soon, which would cause a closed face at impact resulting in lower trajectory and hook.  The lag thread here: Pure Ball Striker Training Aid might help.

Without a swing video can't say for sure what your doing or not doing.

I for one do not have enough weight forward (hip bump) not getting enough secondary axis tilt causing me to deloft the club, come over the top, but my face and path are in the same direction so it goes straight. Just left and low.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. lol
