Weight Transfer Problem

[closer]

I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on this. If I set up to hit my tee shot with my weight evenly distributed I can hit the shot pretty straight most of the time.

The problem though is I don't get that great of distance. I can hit my drives about 230-250 yards this way.

If I put about 70% of my weight on my back foot, I get more distance hitting the ball about 260-280. The problem is that I hit the ball right. It's not a slice but the ball will start off right and continue down the right side usually ending up close to tree lines or in them.

Is there anything I can do to stop pushing the ball to the right? I think my club face might be slightly open at contact.

I want to go to the range and try some different things to be able to hit it straighter and am looking for some things to try.

Any suggestions?


This is my first year of trying to get better at golf even though I've probably played my first time about 8 years ago. But when I played it was maybe once or twice a year.

Thanks for any help.
