I need help understanding some of the numbers I received while hitting into a bay at a local golf store. This numbers were accomplished using a 10.5 degree driver with a regular flex shaft with around 30 swings. Ball speed 140.0 MPH Launch angle 15.0 Degrees Carry distance 222.0 yards Roll distance 16.0 feet Total distance 227.33 yards Why so little roll distance and should i change to a stiffer shaft and add more or less loft.

Thanks for all the help will try an early wrist set to eliminate the inside take away.

Yes I have seen my swing on video. Another problem is that the takeaway is below the plane line of the shaft.

I feel as though I am staring my takeaway with my hands first and continue to the top of my back swing. This is also causing a problem with my wrist hinge not happening till late in my back swing. Would I be better off staring everything with my elbows to have a better back swing and wrist hinge? Any advice would be appreciated.

I do not think my hips are sliding. Can you give me some reasons why the back leg is straightening on the backswing.

I was curious if you straighten the right knee on the backswing can that cause an over the top move to start the downswing?

Thanks for the info. I will try, hopefully it will solve all the tension I have so that I can have a free flowing swing instead of one that seems to be tight.

I do not feel the weight of the club head at address or when I swing. How do I eliminate the tension in the grip, arms and across the top of my back so that I can feel the weight of the club head.

Thanks, I appreciate the info.

I changed my driver shaft to regular from stiff due to what I found out at a golf shop reading. However I have not changed my 3 and 5 wood and 3 and 4 hybrid from stiff to regular. Should there be any ill affects of not changing the above from stiff to regular or would it be Ok to stay with the stiff in the 3 and 5 wood and the 3 and 4 hybrid.

By doing what the video shows is the back leg straitening on the back swing and how much should the left shoulder go down before it turns.

anyone will do they are all the same.

Go to you tube and do a search for pump drill for golf

Will the pump drill help with both Driver and Fairway shots?

While on vacation my wife noticed that my shoulders and hips were open while hitting balls at a range. She told me to close my stance some and everything lined up and I was hitting the ball at the target and not pulls to the left. Is it ok to have a closed stance to line up correctly?

I have tried this and the shaft in the ground at a 45 degree angle . Funny thing about this I never hit either item.

Does anyone have any drills to eliminate pull hooks from an over the top move? This move is started by an inside takeaway.

Thanks for all the helpful advice. I will see which one helps the best. The reply from Four putt was the one that hit home.

I have been dealing with an inside takeaway and over the top move for a period of time. I have tried to correct based on info. from you tube to no success. This has become such a problem that golf is no longer fun for me to the point that I am considering giving up the game. Does anyone have any advice that will help solve the problem and keep me playing this great game that I have enjoyed in the past.

I have been dealing with an inside takeaway and an over the top move that has caused me to greatly consider giving up the game. I have tried the box outside the right of the ball, by the way I never hit it. There are other tips I have tried to no help. Can anyone give me some help before I give up the game.

My videos have shown that my left arm and wrist breakdown at or before impact. However I was at the range today and slowed my swing down with an emphasis on the transition and I was drawing the ball. Does this mean that I was not breaking down?

I am 66 yrs old and hit a callaway razr x pro 6 iron today with a stiff shaft. Results were the following..... Swing speed 85 mph Carry distance 161 Should I consider this good or should I be trying to get more distance.
