I've been working on shortening my swing with my irons, and so far I've been hitting it alot straighter. I had a pretty good sized draw/hook that I used to have to play for. My usual miss though is a push. Because of my fast swing I rely alot on feel and timing. But that leads to massive inconsistency on bad days. Do you know any ways that i can take some of that timing out so I can be a little more consistent?

TP/Red/LDP or TP/Black/LDP Srixon balls are cheaper too. If your looking for a lower level but still semi-performance ball, I can only think of the NXT tour, Or Burner TP LDP

The first major thing I noticed was the massive pick-up with the hands. Your artificially putting it online by raising your hands to where you think your plane should be. Try to use your shoulders to sweep your club low to the ground and almost straight back. This will automatically put you in the right plane on your backswing. You also seem to start your downswing with your hands first. Rotate your hips first and feel like your arms drop in after. Hope this helps =)

Haha. I do those too. Its only my lower body thats weak.

Gettin' nailed on my slacks haha. I do have some other video's on this computer that I'm trying to find. And I think I'm hitting an 8-iron in it. Also thank you for examining my swing. I think what you said about the left leg might really help. I'm gonna be playing today so I'll try it out on the range for a bit.

I work out quite a bit. Its mainly just week legs. My arms are very strong and so are my abs and back. But my legs have very little muscle. I can do 20 pull-ups and i do around 200-300 situps a night. And i weigh 150

Thank you. Yea. I swing it pretty hard. And my legs aren't super strong so its hard for me to control my weight shift. But, the camera mighta got the best of me on this one. haha Now my last teacher made me start dropping that right shoulder so that I would keep the face open longer before impact, and so I wouldn't come over the top and hit a low duck hook. Do you know any drills that'd help me keep my weight going through, while not making me hook it? Thank you all for the comments and tips =)

Actually pretty much all of what you said was perfect. I do struggle with taking it inside. So if you noticed it, it was probably there. And I do struggle with keeping my swing short. Only my driver gets past every now and then. My usual miss is a push or hook.

any helps or comments are greatly appreciated =)

Thanks for the info. I just bought an r9 Tour Issued 3 wood on ebay and it had this shaft in it so I was wondering if anyone knew about it. Thanks for the article link.

Does anyone have info on the new Aldila RIP Shaft? I want it for my three wood and was wondering if anyone knew what kind of ball flight it produced. If anyone has any kind of inside info on it please tell me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What is your typical ball flight? It looks like you flip your wrists fairly hard and might battle with a hook.

Have you seen the Ping Doc? Looks like half a flying saucer.

What about the Ping Doc? That thing is the size of like half a Pizza.

I myself also hit a draw, but I don't try and do it with my right hand, that could lead to you flipping the club after impact and producing a massive hook/pull. If you want a good Draw, take it straight back and feel like your hands drop inside and accelerate through impact, swinging out to right field. if your a righty. This will impart left spin on the ball and after practice it will be alot more consistent. I used to flip with my right hand to get that draw but it leads to massive hooks when your swing is off. I recommend just trying this way.

Now I have a problem that when my driver swing gets off I come in way too steep on the ball, making me balloon it into the wind and getting about 3 yards of roll off of my drive. I have an FT-5 with Graffaloy Prolaunch platinum Stiff 9.5. And from my understanding the FT-5 is a fairly high spin driver. I wanted to know if any of you had ideas of what new Low spin drivers are out on the market. Or maybe a good shaft change that would help decrease spin. My swing speed is probably around 105. 8 iron distance 150. If that helps. Thanks for any replies.

Shot 75 at my course. 38-37. 3 doubles 3 birdies.

Pinch down on a ProV1 with a Vokey spin milled and see what happens. The ball is 75% and the wedge is 75% of the equation.

Im a very busy junior golfer?

also all these people saying that they average 270+ yards and they are 20 handicaps. 270 is not 300, Don't give yourself 30 yards. Im pretty sure he means on a consistent bases.

This guy put it the best.

I'm 15 and have been playing for about 2 years and 4 months

One day jesus moses and a mystery man were playing golf in a threesome. Jesus hit first and hit his ball into a shallow part in the water, so he walked on the water to his ball and hit on the green in regulation. Next Moses hit his ball in the water, but it sunk deep into the lake. So Moses parted the water and hit his ball onto the green in regulation. Now it was the mystery mans turn. He took his swing and the ball rocketed into the air, where it was suddenly grabbed by a hawk, the hawk was then struck down by lightning, where the ball fell out of the air and hit the back of a turtle and got a huge kick onto the green, rolling all the way to the edge of the cup. Jesus and moses looked pissed, and the mystery man disappointed, however as he approached the hole a massive earthquake hit and the ball was shaken into the cup. Thats when jesus snapped and yelled "DAD IF YOU DONT STOP F*#$@*$ AROUND WE ARE GOING TO KICK YOU OUT OF THE GROUP!"

I have one but it's a little inappropriate. So if you mind, don't read it. One day little tommy was in school and his teacher asked him a question. However tommy was asleep and his teacher woke him up with a loud smack saying "I like the way you think but thats the wrong answer." and as she walked away tommy said back to her "I have a question for you" "Three women are sitting on a bench eating ice cream, one is licking her ice cream, one sucking on her ice cream, and one biting her ice cream, which one do you think is married?" the teacher interested, turns around and says, "I would have to guess the one thats sucking the ice cream." and tommy replies, "No, the one with the wedding ring, but i like the way YOU think."

If your 6'5 295 and very muscular and you don hit 300. You obviously use waayyyy to much arms in your swing. Or you swing like a baby. I'm 5'9 135 and in good shape. Im 15 and I hit it 270 average. You sholud beast it past me by 30 yards at least. If you swing don't flex your muscles, you'll just move slower.
