    For me, I was struggling off the tee with a slice. Analysis showed, I was over the top and very much ‘out to in’ on my swing path. It also showed my first movement from the top of my backswing was rounded. I worked on my first movement being Down towards the floor, allowing my hands access to my hips and ‘getting in the slot’. That would be my only advice for anyone struggling with a slice, worked wonders for me 👊

    Having the full swing kit really helps a lot to tell what you are doing with your club face or club path! Even if you are swinging from the inside, you could still be outside in at impact.

    I found in my game if my driver is on, breaking 80 becomes so much more attainable. Putting is one thing but, not having a shot into the green is the key issue. The dreaded hook is my driver miss, a high block on occasion. This could get me closer to better consistency for sure!

    I used to be a fantastic driver. Hit anywhere from 250-330 yard drives down the fairway or just into the rough but over the last year and a half I have completely lost my tee box. Spraying my driver all over the place. On 18 holes I maybe have 1 or 2 decent drives and more often than not lose my ball off the box. It’s ruining my game. I usually miss with a big heavy slice or a low snap hook. No idea what to do I’m lost. Any advice?

    I'm a casual golfer who might play 8-10 times a summer. I've been putting in much more range time this summer though. I historically shoot 100-105, however, last weekend I shot a 91, which is easily the best round of my life. I am very "atypical" in my driver setup. I tee up with the ball one ball-width forward of exactly half-way between my feet - not up towards my front foot. I am about 75% consistent hitting it VERY straight with about a 240-250 carry. I swing a Taylor made Aero Burner.
    I've tried having the ball forward in my stance as recommended by 99.9% of people out there. I have barely any control, and I've hit lots of balls at the range lately trying to work on it. Should I keep looking for untapped distance potential by practicing with the ball forward in my stance, or should I keep doing what works for me?

    • @meandmygolf.
      @meandmygolf.  13 дней назад +1

    Putting the ball further forward if you're struggling with a slice seems like a recipe for disaster as you're going to catch the ball as the path moves left, making it worse.

    • @meandmygolf.
      @meandmygolf.  15 дней назад +3

      Only if thew shoulders follow. Yes moving the ball further forward shifts the path slightly you also hit the ball later in the arc which mean the face is more left and sometimes can change face to path relationship. The proof was in the pudding with Max here.

      @brendanomalley7603 14 дней назад +3

      @@Vnam72Your logic is only sound if it works in practice, what moving the ball up REALLY does is it gives the face more time to close. Effectively giving you a better chance at hitting it straight.

    • @Vnam72
      @Vnam72 14 дней назад

      @brendanomalley7603 I used to move the ball further left, if your face isn't closing (as his wasn't here) then it's just a bigger slice. You assume the face will close but this has to be learnt. The best drill in this video was the toe winning the race, i.e. closing the face.
