Right handed person and I've been pushing the ball consistently to the right since picking up the clubs a couple of months ago. Goes perfectly straight about 20 degrees to the right of where I am aiming. I've read about ways to correct this issue and nothing has worked. Using Callaway Fusion Wide Sole clubs, graphite shaft, and the clubs are the correct length for me. In frustration, I took a swing at a ball the other day with my right hand only and was absolutely amazed to see the ball go perfectly straight to where I was aiming, and it went far (I was using the PW). Thinking it was a fluke I hit another, and another, etc... All balls went exactly where I wanted them to go. I then started stepping through the clubs and they too were going straight and farther than the previous club. I even busted out a fairway 3 wood and a rescue club with the same results (did NOT try a driver). Taking nice easy swings, bringing my right arm straight up in the air (about 12 o'clock position) and then accelerating down slightly and turning toward the target before striking the ball. There was a nice "click" sound and the balls were taking off like they had been spanked. I didn't feel any awkwardness in the swing and was able to hit repeatable shots and control distance like I have never been able to previously. Pitching/chipping also worked the same, just taking 1/4 swings, etc. My question.. Other than this looking extremely goofy on the course, can I do harm my body in any way? Nothing felt wrong or stressed with the swing. Not looking to play competition ball, only wanting to have fun with family and friends without getting frustrated. Thanks for your replies. Rick

OK, so after reading Carl Hiaasen's latest book I ran out and purchased a Cleveland Halo 3i 22 degree Hybrid for the bag because everyone should have one in their bag (I know... SUCKER is written across my forehead..haha) Took the club out to the range today and I've got one question... How the !@$!% do you hit this club? From everything I've read, it's supposed to be a snap to hit, and the plan was to replace the 3 and 4 iron with this club as I may as well sell those for scrap metal. I'm just not getting it and was topping the ball a lot or hitting it fat, etc. I am a noob so I'm sure all of the issue is my technique... but I've got a couple of questions.. 1. do I hit DOWN on the ball like a 9 iron, or up on it like a wood/driver? 2. where do I place the ball in my stance? (center like a 9, slightly forward like a 7-6-5, or more forward like a wood/driver?) Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I recently discovered birdieballs and feel sorta bad about the sudden appearance of divots in my neighbors plush front yard..

I'm incredibly in touch with my feminine side but have *NOT* purchased a set of womens clubs as of yet. I do like pink however, or so my 7yr old daughter says.. Does that count?

FANTASTIC shot! Was it staged or just captured at the right moment? Thanks for sharing!

My knucklehead brother buried... i mean BURIED his putter into the green after missing a shot. A HUGE hole in the green and all I wanted to do was crawl under a rock and die. I don't understand how folks let themselves get that worked up over a game.
