Thanks again, will definitely check out his videos.

Now I understand. Thank you very much!

Yeah, but I love being on the range trying to drive the ball long and straight and wonder if I would benefit from practicing with a neutral driver, rather than an offset one. I am 26 years old and have been doing weight training for a while, so I think with a lot of muscle memory and more activation and rotation with the hips, I have a much higher potential when it comes to my current swing speed. Even though my swing speed must be very slow, I hit the driver very high (always) and when I manage to hit with a square face, I hook the ball. When I hit semi square, it goes straight. And when I hit it really bad (40% of the time), i slice it 50 yards to the right. All these shots with very high ball flight and no roll. So I am basically asking if it would be better to buy a neutral driver with potentially the wrong flex and increase range practice, or just save up for a custom fitting and more lessons?

Yeah, that would be ideal. But how would one go about testing driver shafts without making you pay for a 300+ dollar driver and shaft :D Or do i have to face the music and just save up for a custom fitting?

Hi. I seem to struggle with the same problems as posted in this thread: http://thesandtrap.com/t/27408/offset-or-no-offset-driver I have a cheap Wilson offset driver (ca 2006) and looks very closed and offset at address. My drives also tends to go very high, however my carry is 185 - 210 yards max. It has a regular shaft and 10,5 degrees of loft. I feel like i wont get any better swing habits keeping hitting this driver, and I have found some very good deals on Cleveland classic XL (and custom) drivers. The only problem is that they are only available with a stiff shaft. I am wondering if I should go with a 10,5 degree or 9 degree Cleveland with the stiff shaft (which is probably way to stiff for my current swing speed) or just grind it out with the offset until it starts hooking every time? Cheers!

Ahhh ok. Thanks! i will definately ask around at my local club and hearing about their experiences with tha available pros. Unfortunately I do not have access to Golf Channel here in Norway (I have mailed them and asked). I have watched what is available on youtube, and I agree, Michael Breed is awesome! In regards to new irons, I fear that a pro might try to convince me that I need custom fitted clubs, and I am not too interested in that at the moment. Also wondering if it would be a smart decition to buy "game improvement irons" with the degree of offset they provide, and if a pro would recommend that. Cheers!

Thank you for great answers.

Hi. I am fairly new to golf. I got my "green card" last spring, and played a total of 4 rounds on a 18 hole course, and 4 rounds on a 9 hole course. I have probably hit 2250 - 2500 balls on the range in that time period. The shortgame is actually what I am best at, but my big struggle is actually the tee shot. I am only able to launch SW, PW and 9 iron fairly straight and with adequate height. I struggle with the 8-5 irons and especially the hybrids. I think I hit the ground first with those clubs and it is causing the ball to hook Driver sometimes slices, but is my second best skill at the moment. Currently I`m using a Wilson Stretch beginners golf set from 2007 or so. Do you guys think it would help with a newer game improvement iron set (like Cobra baffler XL) or another easy to launch game improvement set? I struggle with longer shots from a tee and the ground... Or should I rather spend the money on 9 Lessons with a pro? (same cost as the iron set in Norway) Thanks!
