Hi all! 

I was hoping that you guys could help me improve my driver swing and figure out what I am doing wrong! I have never struggled hitting my driver until recently! I have only been golfing a few years and have been using the "baseball grip" and decided to switch to an interlocking grip to help improve my game further. With this new grip I hit my irons further and straighter than ever but cannot hit my driver at all. I am for the most part topping the ball, hitting it off the toe, slicing it, or hooking it. I attached some files and videos from the Zepp app. I was hoping someone could give me drills and ways to improve! 

 

*on the Zepp picture the dark blue is going back and the light blue is coming back down. I can see that I somehow end up going below plane.

Here is a gif of me swinging! Should help you get an idea!

I think the people who can help you would need to see a video of your actual swing. Otherwise they are really going to be guessing. You might get more responses that way. I suggest you get a lesson. :-)

 

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I thought I posted one! Sorry! I attached a gif from the back that might help! I thought about getting lessons but haven't decided yet!

This. And....looks like you have zero hip turn. You’re swinging with just your arms.

      I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.

      Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, I do slide my hips like 7 inches towards the target before impact. PGA Tour average is like 3 inches. I’m not Scottie Scheffler who can get away with it. 🤣 He slides a ton.  For me, I have to feel like I basically just turn. Though, I’m probably over exaggerating a bit with that one video because I’m really trying to push off with the left leg which sends the hip backwards. Ideally, I would be able to get my weight over to the outside of my left foot at impact and into the finish. It’s probably OK that I can slide about 7 inches as long as it’s like only three by impact.

      Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine.

      I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
