So I have just recently developed this problem where I went from hitting this nice beautiful baby draw on every shot to this massive 40+ yard draw (I’m sure there is a better word for it but that’s what it is.)  I really think the issue is me over rotating through my follow through of my swing I just can feel myself coming around in my follow through and not “finishing high” like I should be but my contact is middle of the face and solid every time. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this I’ve done the towel drill, slowed my swing down to focus on fundamentals, the water bottle drill, half swings, swinging like there is no tomorrow, dropping my front foot back, moving it forward and nothing helps.  I went with my girlfriend and used her clubs just to slow me down and get back to the fundamentals (just a starter set with a really soft women’s flex) and I was hitting the ball really straight, so much so that I considered using her clubs the next time I go out lol.  But then I go back to mine apply the exact same swing and back to the huge draw.  I’m also having an issue with my woods turning over in my hand when I make contact with the ball but that’s a whole other animal and I can get away with a 3 or 4 iron off the tee at the course I usually play.  Thanks in advance for any help y'all  can give me!!! (ALSO sorry for the watermark on the video it was the only way to get it into a format to post on here)

    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
    • Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.
    • Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
    • day 34. Technique practice. Became too quick and outcome oriented. need to slow down and work on technique again. 
    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂
