yes it is shut, very shut. I can see that it shuts very fast, and I feel like I can't do anything about it. No matter what I do my swing feels like its going to be a shank, and it is. Nothing feels right.

there was a ball there, it didnt leave the ground

It started out as a nice draw, than little by little my swing became lower, and more left. Now it just goes straight left and doesn't get off the ground. I am desperate, please help.

I have that same hybrid club. It is the reason I didn't have a 3 wood in my bag for such a long time.

Even though it was a short course, I still had a lot of up and downs around the greens and only one three putt. If I could do that on my 5500 yrd course I would be in good shape.

I agree, but thats what the score card said.

450 yard par 4. Pulled my drive and it hit the cart path on the fly and bounced in front of the adjacent holes tee box. After the group on the tee hit, i went to my ball. Had a slight gap between 2 sets of trees to get to the green 190 yards away. Hit a 3 hybrid through the trees, fading it a few yards. Landed on the green with a 15 foot birdy put. No I did not make the putt, but the shot looked amazing from where I was standing.

hole 1 - 135 yrd par 3 - got a par hole 2 - 100 yrd par 3 - got a par hole 3 - 180 yrd par 4 - got a birdie hole 4 - 70 yrd par 3 - got a par hole 5 - 175 yrd par 4 - bogie hole 6 - 190 yrd par 4 - par hole 7 - 90 yrd pr 3 - par hole 8 - 195 yrd par 4 - birdie hole 9 - 230 yrd par 4 - birdie

As a mid teen handicapper, it felt great to shoot 2 under par at a local executive 9 hole course. Although some of the par 4s were only 180 yards, still feels good.

one sale a day website has the callaway upro. Don't see it cheaper anywhere else so if anyone is interested. http://woot.com/

I actually am not a long hitter, I usually hit it 230. Sometimes get it out 260, sometimes it falls short at 210.

flexibility is more important than strong abs to protect your back. But yes, they are both important. I am very strong, i bench press 260, squat 305, and dead lift 375. I am not that flexible but I am working on it. As I become more flexible it shows in my swing.

your glutes are part of your core.

The legs. Strong legs = good balance = better contact to be made.

agreed. put-off is boring

135 yard par 3 the other day. My tee shot landed 3 feet from the pin. The 2 others in my group both hit the green, one of them was 6 feet and one was 26 feet. They both sank their puts and got birdie. I missed my 3 footer and got an unfortunate par :(

thats about how far I hit my 52* pitching wedge.

I am the opposite of most people. I am awful with a 3 wood, I have considered removing it from my bag. I am great with the driver.

I am just extremely impressed with taylormade's customer service. Here is what happened. I purchased a taylormade cart bag 2.0 from a target close out sale for 26$ last year. Slowly the bottom of the bag started chipping. A few months ago the bottom of the bag completely broke off and my clubs would just fall right through. The broken bag sat in my closet for months and before I was about to through it out, I figured why not call and see if they would replace it. I called and they said just bring it to any retail location and they will get it replaced. So I brought it to sports authority, they sent the bag to taylormade, and than 2 weeks later I got my replacement. I did not get the same 26$ golf bag I sent in as a replacement, instead they sent me a brand new catalina 2.0 golf bag (a MUCH nicer golf bag). I am extremely happy with them and thought I would share my experience.

Something I need to look in to doing. I have been lifting weights for years, and I am not very flexible. I can bench press close to 300lbs but can only drive the ball 240.

yes I do see in the video my head moves slightly on the backswing. But I don't miss the ball with my drives. I am actually very happy with my drives. I would like more distance of course, but is stopping my head from moving going to add any distance?

Here is a driver video I took as well. Sorry if the angle is incorrect. The driver is the club in my bag I am the most satisfied with. I seem to hit the fairways most of the time, ball flight is usually straight or a slight draw. Most of them go around 240, some go further, some go shorter (especially when wind is involved). Any suggestions as to how I can add more distance would be nice.

after watching that video in slow motion. Looks like I just suck at aligning myself. Ball appears to be going straight, i was just aimed incorrectly. The ball flight of that shot did not have any spin (draw or fade)

played a round today. Took some of the advice and turned my hips through impact, also widened my stance. Here is a video. The shot in this video resulted in a push (different than my usual pull)
