I believe it is the shanks, it does not always happen. I know I am balanced, so it has to be once in awhile I am doing an out to in golf swing. Can a few people give me some tips on how to practice in to out golfswing. I know a headcover put next to the ball, anything else. thanks

Lately I have been hitting the ball thin and to the left. I have always been a good ball striker. Could it be I am off plane or hinging my wrist to early and not releasing coming through? Below Is my swing on this thread. http://thesandtrap.com/t/45331/my-swing-tazrestling27

For some reason I am hitting the ball thin and it goes straight left. Like a hook. Any suggestions. Please Help, I think I am off plane

Just wondering if anyone has any good or bad feedback. All is appreciated. Thank you

Wow thanks for putting the two videos together, I didn't even remember putting a swing on here, and that is ugly ha ha. It has changed.

In the simulator, my 7 iron was 176 yds on avg. My driver was 316 yds avg, with a ball speed avg of 166mph. (I know simulators exaggerate, however last season my avg drive was about 297yd). My typical miss is a push, when I do not take the club back enough inside.

I started playing golf competitively two years ago, played for about 4 years but in first two years only played three rounds. Please take a look at my videos and let me know. Below is driver in image format.

One thing I noticed at your address to the ball your hands are so far forward. I recently went to the golf coach and he told me I am a great ball striker however I typically have a draw or pull do to my hands being so far forward when I am in my setup position. I am currently in the process of putting my hands more in the middle of my stance. Lets just say after two range sessions I want to quit because it feels so unnatural to me. However it feels like it is coming around and I am hitting my shots more straight now. With all clubs.

I am typically missing left. I have a fade on the ball.

For some reason, I have having trouble with my accuracy driver. I know this has to do with just only going to the range for 5 days. However, could it be the shaft of my driver? I have been tested on a lot of machines. My ball speed is 165-171mph depending how well I really hit the ball. I have just a stiff shaft on my driver, however I was told at the store that I need an extra stiff shaft do to my swing speed. Could this really make a drastic difference? If so what are good x-stiff shafts? thanks

It is different on every machine you step on, you could be close to that, but the distance may be a little false. For example, I went into one Golf Galaxy machine, it said I hit my drives on avg. 335 yds. Longest one being 340 yds. However this isn't true, I would pay attention to ball mph. not your swing speed. I have been tested on a lot of machines, my distance for my clubs avg on the machine like 320 yds. However on the course it is more like 300- 305 yds.

Hi everyone, I am looking for someone in the near areas that is interested in golf and looking for people to play with. Also, looking for someone that can teach me the game better. Be able to help me out. I do not have any credientals. Played in one tournament last year took 3rd overall out of 200 people. My driver avg is 306, 294 carry. I am not the greatest with accuracy, with this club. However when I switch to my irons that is where my game saves me. Handicap at the end of last season was a 4. I just started two and a half years ago, looking for help and for someone to play with. I am 23 years old, I am a consultant so I travel the week each week to a different part of the country, but I am always home friday-sunday. or If anyone has great suggestions for coaches in that area that would be great. Looking to become scratch this season so I can play in more tournaments.

Hi everyone, I live in NJ and our golf season is ending very shortly. This season, I got out of the 80's and shot in the mid 70's consistenly all season. I am looking to train every other day for golf and lift the others. I have the power that most people can not generate. My average ball speed off the driver is 171mph. I am looking to train this whole off season to play in some amateur tournaments when the season starts up next season. Does anyone use a schedule or any training sessions they use on the range or putting green for the winter? Thanks

I definitely know it is on juice. A few of those bad slices is when I was really trying to crank it. I hit on average about 290 yds. Probably 270ish carry on the course. I just thought it was funny with those numbers.

Here are my scores at a golf galaxy simulator, I tested out the new 10.5 r11 driver with a extra stiff shaft. Currently I have the 9.5 super tri r9 with stiff shaft and hit about 300 yds on avg. Do you think with the new shaft and increasing loft a little bit gives me higher ball flight and produces these longer drives? I know I have a higher swing speed than most, just really want to practice this off season and try to play in some amateur events next season. Thanks

I went to golf galaxy the other day to compare my current driver to the new r11 driver. My average ball speed was 169mph, and the machine was saying my average drive was 312yds. I hit a few that were about 330yds. However when I am on the course, I tend to hit 295yds, once in a while over 300yds. Are these machines off or do you think when I get to the course I don't tend to release like I do when I am on a simulator?

Thank you for the video, I will test it out. Today I did not have to many 100 yds and in drives were not as good, however shot 35 par on 9 holes. I will practice it. Thank you

My 3 hybrid is about 230yds avg, so there is a large gap. I do need to get a 3-wood, just have not pulled out my card to buy it yet because it seems for most par 5's I am already reaching in 2. Now when you say 9.5 considerable yardage loss, what do you mean if you don't mind me asking? You mean carry? Thank you for the tips about trying to let the ball release, I never hit that type of shot, I always try to make it land and stick. I think that type of shot will stop my oversized divots.

Hi everyone, lately I have been playing a lot of golf I have my score down in the low 70's and sometimes I am even breaking par on the front 9. However I am having trouble 100 yds, 75 yds, and 50 yds. My chipping and pitching is going pretty well however those half shots I am messing up at least twice in a round. I tend to take a huge divot but I chunk it. My irons are my best part of my game, do you think it could be that I am maybe just using all arms with my swing? I just want to know other peoples opinions. I tend to use my lob wedge. Full swing I hit 120 yds. So the 100 yds I do a little more than 3/4 a swing, 75 yds about little less than 3/4 a swing, 50 about half a swing. If anyone could just give me ideas. Today I was 2 under going into the final 2 holes, and I bogey and double bogey because I messed up these shots. I tend to hit my drive about 285 yds, so I am typically using a wedge in on most courses I play on. When you hit your 75 yd shot do you take a divot just like you do with your typical iron shot? Thanks for your input anything you guys do for drills or tips would be great.

I am looking for a golf coach around somerset county nj or nyack nyi started playing golf only a year and a half ago. I am a handicap 5. I want to become a scratch golfer and I am looking for a coach to see on a weekly basis to take me to the next level. If anyone on here wants to be my coach or knows someone please post here.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering peoples opinions. I have been playing very well this season. I have been shooting in the low to mid 70's and I have been hitting about 67% of greens and drive 283yds on average with hitting 50% of fairways. However I want to get below 70 this season, and I do not know if I should go see a swing coach. My putts are typically around 34, which I need to go down. Should I see a coach for my swing or for my short game or for both? Thanks

Hi everyone I have been playing about two years now. I have my handicap down to about a 6. Today I shot a 77, with 67% of greens hit, 78% of fairways avg 287 yds. However I had 2 shots that were Out of Bounds and I had 37 putts. I have never seen a coach for my swing or short game. Just you tube and watching the golf channel. However, I need to get my putts down. If I could learn to putt I would be par or better. I bought a scotty cameron putter and I use an interlocking grip when I put with my elbows against my sides. I was just wondering peoples opinions on setup and posture, grip and everything. How you practice ect. thanks

I am from Somerset County and I appreciate the offer, but however I am a lefty. There are not to many lefties out there. Thank you though. Do you enjoy it, does it seem like it is helping??

Hey everyone, I haven't been on the site in awhile nor have I played golf. I was playing almost everyday, but work has picked up a lot and I have not played in 2 weeks. I came back to the range yesterday, had a lot of trouble with my irons, could not hit the ball in the air. A lot of it was thin. However, when I hit my driver, I was hitting my avg 280yds. Just bombs. I can not figure out what it is with my irons. I know I have not played in a little, but I was just curious. So I was thinking about getting the tour striker so it enforces me to swing down on the ball again and hopefully stop my thin shots. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yesterday I shot a 75, shot +5 on front par on back. Today in terrible conditions so not to upset with my score, shot +9 on front and +2 on back. None of the courses I go to have driving ranges, all I can do is putt and chip. No full swings to get everything in line. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks
