That picture of the glove looks very familiar. This thread in combination with a lesson has helped me hit it better than I ever had. Finally easily carrying the 200 yard marker at the range directly over the top of it. OK, sometimes, but that is a big improvement on "never."

Thank you. I adjusted my grip to be less "palmy" per your instructions above and made some practice swings in the back yard this morning, and I managed to maintain the clubface direction through the entire swing. I am headed to the range this evening, but I think you have made a serious improvement in my game. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I have a lesson tomorrow, and I am betting that we can work on something else besides my grip now, I booked the lesson because I couldn't hit it straight without "hooding" the club, as the pro called it.

I have been "hooding the club" because everything was going right. Straight, but right. I just realized that when I set it up hooded, and stop my swing at the bottom, it is then square and ball go straight. The club is slipping, rotating, in my hands. Is that what this means: " the incorrect position would assist in early club head throw away on the downswing, "

Yeah, I was just having some fun. I can't talk because I get a [expletive deleted] when I hit it 220.

Nah, there's lots of guys on this forum that hit like that. This would be the place to come get some help.

Oh, I didn't

What is Bubba Watson's average drive?

I like the "Almost Golf" balls, they are kind of a compressed foam, and seem to behave the same as a regular ball, except on a smaller scale. The thing about them though is that they will still go pretty far, a lot farther than a whiffle type or soft foam ball, but they won't break anything.

I like a colored ball because my home course is usually well speckled with seagull feathers, and has a few blind tee shots, both of which make finding your ball a little bit more of a challenge. Plus, if somebody takes a mulligan, we make him hit a pink ball for the rest of the hole.
