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 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
