Hey, I'm a scratch golfer, a senior in high school and lately I've notice my ball start slicing. I was told to stand closer but this doesn't help. My driver hasn't ever been fit, no place for miles and its too long, about 48.5". My arms hanging to floor is 37". Should I either stick with my swing but grip down lower on the grip, stand back further, or something else. Please, i need help. I have a huge tournament soon!!!

@redbull23952395 Just remember that the clubface makes the ball go up in the air. Even with the driver you do NOT need to hit up on the ball. Just brush the tee out of the ground, forget the ball.

Hi I'm 15 and working on golf because i would like to try out for golf my junior year. I go to the driving range as often as I can but I can't to seem hit driver. I hit a 3 wood 200-250 yards, but when I hit the driver i always top it and hit a low grounder. I use the same method for ball height on the tee. Any tips?

@secretogolf when you top it that means you are picking your head up, which results in lifting your entire body up and topping it!

@ThePuzzler96 puzzler, first i would say to get a lesson with someone so that they can see and fix ur swing. my advice about your drive is to make sure your club face isnt open and that feet knees hips and shoulders are aligned parallel to where you are aiming the club face so that u are swinging throught the ball and not across it; therefore putting spin on the ball and slicing it left

that ball position tip really helps, i am right handed and slice right, because I impact too early in the swing.

Is the driver swing any more flat than an iron swing.I hit my irons really well.My driver is another story ,I'm either bombing it 280 or I could top the ball or drop kick it.thanks

i had the tendency to hit my driver all over the map. I actually came up with a way to stop both from occuring by doing a few simple things. I would first take swings with my driver where i would bring the club barely past my waist and only try to hit the ball maybe 60-80 yards. Once i started hitting those straight i would bring it back to my shoulders and so on until i created consistency. When i got to my full swing, I made sure my entire swing was very slow. This gave me that consistency

Great video. Thanks.I have also just recently started hovering the driver, not so much to avoid pebbles or tees, though that is very true - I feel that it it lends itself to a better setup and take-away position, and also to a better tempo to the swing. |
