Here is my problem i used to play a high fade. I took 2 years but i finally got rid of that shot in my bag and now i play a draw. The problem is mainly on the tee shots, the draw is too much. It is almost a power pull. I still get tons of distance with it but on tighter courses to hard to keep in play. Now i wish i had mu good old faithfull fade in the bag. Any tips would be great. i think it is mainly my hands might be too fast.

watch your alignment, left foot closer to ball than right foot (closed) causes draws.

watch your grip is not too strong.

or you might be swinging too fast. like you mentioned. so you might have a 'timing' problem.
if i dont wait for my arms to catch up to my body = fade,slice. i swing my arms past my body before it has a chance to rotate through = draw,hook.
i get it spot on=straight drive :)

Thanks for the good advise. I totally forgot about my foot position. That was on of the swing changes i made at the begining of last year. I might just have to do a small adjustment to it.

The thing that will help you most is... lessons. I cant really help you with this without seeing your swing path and speed. Some people i teach had similar problems, with slicing and pushing etc, they simply changed their tees. 2 years ago when i was slicing (i was 11) i changed from plastic castles to wooden normals... my slice was no longer

Just one to try.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
