Driver issues

mattnxtc · #1 06-30-2007, 02:22 PM

I am having trouble getting a solid turn on my downswing when I hit my driver. This is leading me to hit it straight but everything is going right because I am leaving my body open.

Any advice/suggestions on any changes I can make to get myself to get a better turn on my downswing?

anybody?

Just to add...I recently changed from a Taylormade 360 to the Taylormade Burner which is goign to be a little bit longer club.

Would a bigger backswing give my body a chance to turn in tune?

Are you hitting like a block?

Straight but dead right?

Yea, can you clarify if you mean it's going straight right or if it's starting straight to your target and then fading right?

yeah thats what I was trying to get at....the ball is straight but I am not getting around again in time and it is sending the ball right from the start instead of on target.

choke up on the club?

Make sure that when you finish your shot that your weight is almost all on your front foot. If you weight stays on your back foot during impact and finish you are going to hit a block almost every time.

I dont think thats the issue. When I initially tested out the club I had no problem with this and even in my first couple rounds this wasnt an issue. Its just been recently that I am not turning on the ball.

this actually works for me as a quick fix during a round, as long as i stay behind the ball and let my arms swing freely on the downswing.

Flare your left foot out. (point your left foot more towards the target at address) If that doesn't help move your ball position more forward in your stance.
