Another thing you might want to look at is if your staying on the inside of your right foot on your take away. Also when you swing feel as if you are swinging from the inside out to emphasize a draw type swing. If you still are having problems, try setting up with the club face closed at address to compensate for your open hands at impact. Your coach is right about turning your hands over at impact. Another thing is you need to hinge your hands on the take away and not roll them. If you roll them you will fall into a "laid out" position and you will not be able to get back to the correct position at impact. I know this is a lot of info, but if you get these tips down you should be hitting them straight

Isn't it nice when you are able to figure out your own mistakes instead of paying 100 or so bucks for a lesson.

Ok I get what you guys are saying. Thanks for all the suggestions and I will not limit myself to just looking at those two drivers. I'll give them all a chance.

I completely agree with you but my problem is that once I get onto courses about 7300 + yrds i tend to have a lot of long irons into holes and have long third shots into par fives. But thank you for the adams series suggestions. I will head over to golfsmith and check them out.

I currently have the Taylormade R7 and have been looking to get a new driver. I am going to be playing golf in college starting in the fall and need some feedback on a couple of drivers. I am currently looking at the Tmade TP tour burner and the Titleist 909 D2. I can shape the ball either way but I am not the longest of drivers roughly 290 average. I play on California's central coast (Santa Cruz to San Fransisco area) and the air is heavier and the ball flies shorter. I am looking for distance out of my driver but as well as performance. So my question is what do you guys think would be a better suit for my type of playing environment?

Alright here is the scoop. AP1 irons are considered "game improving" irons. They are easier to hit and because of the the lower lofts they go further which helps on mishit shots. The downside to these clubs is the fact that they are NOT forged so the pre-set lie angle that you purchase them with is permanent. The AP2 irons are designed for higher skilled players who like to shape shots either way. And because they are forged you can adjust the lie as needed. The upside to buying the AP2 is that they a cavity-backed forged irons and because of that you will have a little more forgiveness than a forged blade. I currently play with the AP2's and I love them. They feel solid when I hit it pure and that is a major +. Hope this helps and good luck with your club hunting.

They say the calmer you are, the better you play . But who says that every now and then a little cussin can't relieve a little frustration.

I tend to play the ball forward and parallel my shoulders with the slope on downhill lies to try and get the ball up higher in the air. When I play it back I tend to hit it heavy due to the shortened distance from the top of my swing to the ball compared to a flat lie. On an uphill lie, it depends on the wind. If it is helping, I play it up in the stance to so as to get the ball as high as possible so the wind has a chance to push it further. If the wind is in my face, i take an extra club or two and play it back of my stance like a knock down and try to keep it under the wind. Another trick is to take an extra club and hit a high fade if you can control it if there is relatively no wind.

Try standing further away from the ball so there is no way to hit the hosel. Also you may also want to choke down on the club so you better control over the club. Make sure when you address the ball, you have your hands leading the clubface as well. And above all try to take the club straight back and straight down through impact. Hope this helps.
