Question?  I have been playing golf around 2.5 years.   For the most part I hit my driver around 190-220.  According to GameGolf my average/typical drive is/was 199.  For the past week and a half my longest drive might be 190.  Typlical 175-180 (vs 190-220)    I don't feel like I am doing anything different, but I am getting a little more slice (usually fairly stright or slight fade)  But even when there is no slice my drive is only 185 while it felt like a 220 drive.   Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Do you have a member swing?  There is a lot of valuable help once the video is available.   It is only speculation w/o the video.   Are you sliding your hips instead of turning?  Not rotating enough.   Is your weight forward, do you have a steady head, flat left wrist?   So many questions w/o a video.  

I'm sure someone with more knowledge than myself will chime in.  Good luck.

Sorry I don't have a swing thread.  I just never seem to take the time to make one.

It really shouldn't take too much time and if you are serious about improving you should be taking video anyway regardless of whether you start a swing thread.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
