I created a bulge for my trigger finger using a little athletic tape. I definitely feel the pressure point. I'll keep you updated as to how it works

I have had an R9 Driver for about 6 months now. It is a stiff shaft, and have had my swing speed clocked at 109-112. The guy told me I was on the high end of stiff. Anyways, my question is about the way this club works. I have the little chart that came with it. It seems no matter how I have the club set, I still achieve the same basic ball flight. Granted, I am sure there are some swing problems in there, but no matter how I have it set, I hit my draw. I noticed when I have it set for R my ball flight is low. It seemed to work best set @ L even though I draw the ball anyway. I dont really mess with the weights that much. I keep the heavy one in the center Are these settings affecting the loft of the club or the lie angle? Just curious...

I did get an email that he shipped it a week prior to my email...still never got it...ignored me ever since

Maybe they went out of business. I ordered mine well over 2 weeks ago, and got a response that they were going to look into it..that was the last I heard. Pretty ridiculous. I will definitely follow through with my PAYPAL complaint. I know its only 20 bucks but WTF?

good idea. I may go to Golf Galaxy or something.. If I lived in AZ like I used to it would be a lot easier. Lots of good instructors out there

Looks like your head is moving laterally a bit. Looks like you kill it though

The lag looks great, and the weight looks like it is staying forward throughout the swing. I like it. Good luck!

Thanks for the ideas. I got some ideas reading Ben Hogan's 5 lessons and his trigger finger. I will have to get that feeling back. I lose my swing thoughts each year, I tend to give up in the winter. I do feel the hands race through with the woods for sure. I have had a little sucess standing further from the ball, but I feel like I am forced too far from the inside to get to the ball. I don't know how it works, but sometimes its a quick fix, or out of bounds right :) Its not killing my round of golf or anything, I mean yes I have to hit from behind a tree now and again, but that just gives me a chance to practice getting out of trouble. If I get to frustrated, I tee off with my driving iron (yes old Titleist 19 Deg.) I love that thing. I can manage a decent round usually without the wood, but its just frustrating. I think what I may do is get back in the habit of hitting 1/2 punch shots. I used to hit 100 in a row at least once a week, and it really helped the lag in my swing. I just don't want to be practicing bad habits. I have never taken a lesson, I have mixed feelings. I like to figure things out on my own so I know in a pinch what I am doing wrong, however a second opinion is always nice... Thanks ya'll

One piece takeaway! I think that club looks a little long for you too. Have you been fitted for one before? It looks like your head comes way up, and to "stand up" one the take away. Concentrate on rotating around your spine

I will post one next time I get to the range. Chances are I'm swinging for right field and my hands are casting. I need to find a way to transition the downswing back on plane.

I need to swallow my pride and leave my driver home for a day....

Thanks! Definitely have been spending more time with the putter and the wedges.I grew up playing desert courses where you could hit out of if you hit wide, but now I play tree lined fairways. Totally different game. I have been putting a glove under my left armpit to get the feeling of being connected. It feels weird. Any ideas for improving tempo?

I'm not trying to prove I'm John Daly or anything. It just happens. My brother sucks and hits the ball miles... Also, some of the guys on the PGA tour are 5 ft. tall. Quinn07- Good point about Rocco. Thanks!

Yeah, snap hooks do not go as far, maybe 200ish. Driver- 300-320 3W- 290 19Deg Driving iron 260 4: 215-225 5: 190- 215 6: 180-190 7: 170-180 etc.... I am considering a lesson when the weather is nicer out, but I just know there are so many different opinions out there, and I really don't want to build a brand new swing. I have 2 years in the military left then plan on attending a professional golf management program ....Sorry about the sideways vid...this was a pull hook into the bay, yardage was good though....

I'm new on here. I've been playing golf for 15 years now. My handicap has managed to stay below a 10 for more than half of that time. Here is the problem... I used to hit the driver straight and long all day when I was younger. I have had some back surgery recently but don't think it affects me too much. I am hitting my irons about the same distance I always have. The problem I have been having is with my woods. I have both R9 driver/ 3 woods so I can adjust them. My normal good shot is a high push draw...It always has been. For the life of me, I can't hit a cut when I need to even if I open up and open the face. I can get by with a 3 wood off the tee if I need to 290ish, but my game will open up much more if I can get my driver working again. 300-320 avg. My misses are a straight up push out of bounds with a lot of power on it, or a rediculous duck/snap hook that goes as far as a 4 iron. I feel like the clubface is closed obviously, or flipping through impact. I have tried so many things to fix this. Weaken my grip, position, distance from the ball, stack and tilt, one plane wing, keeping the weight forward on the backswing etc. Anyones suggestions would be great. If I can get this thing working again, I can get my handicap lower and get my confidence back... THANKS!
