Hey all, I got fitted for and purchased a new driver a few days ago and during my following 2 trips to the range, I was hitting it really well. Finally nice, straight drives.
However, on the golf course yesterday, my drives were miserable. I usually tee off just using a hybrid or fairway wood, but of course I wanted to use the new driver.
I went to the range today and after warming up a bit, I noticed that I was hitting the driver pretty well- nothing like the atrocities on the course yesterday. 4 out of 5 I'd be thrilled with on the course. I realized that after I would pick up another club (especially short irons) and then go back to my driver, the first shot or two would be awful.
Then I started hitting one ball with my 9 iron, then one shot with my driver, 9 iron, driver, etc. Almost all of the drives were CRAP. It seems like once I get into a "groove" with the driver, I can hit them straight. But not one the first shot after hitting another club.
Does anybody else have this problem? Some people say you should have the same swing, others say you should use different swings, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
