cure the high draw

[drawboy]

I am wondering whether to go up a shaft to a slightly stiffer model in order to try and cure the high draw I currently hit. I have an 83-85 mph swing and was fitted for a senior (M) flex shaft in my R11. Now I'm not short with it, easily keeping up off the tee with other players around my handicap range but I do tend to send the ball out right and it then draws back, it's not a hook. I would prefer to be able to straighten the shot up and not send it out right so much on tighter holes, so would going up to a reg shaft help with this?

mmm and im the opposite, how much right to left movement have you

Saw the thread title and thought stiffer shaft - read it and you agree. Coud be technique but how high do your irons fly. Think you can get shafts pretty cheap on ebay for your head so give one a go. You'll probably end up with a new driver if you go to a pro!

Hmmn difficult to say as it is a draw probably out about 20ft or so.....really difficult to answer that one it varies.

Do the irons move too. What does your pro say. Is he happy the technique if fine? Perhaps cheaper to get a lesson or swing check than fork out for a shaft you may not need

lol, just be happy with what uve got but perhaps a lower flight. think i read somewhere most pros dont or cant hit a straight flight

it was sergio in either last months or the month before GM mag. he said he finds it impossible. its either a fade or a draw for him. i believe him too. i think ive hit one straight ball in my life im sad to say.

Draws and fades require mismatches between the swingpath and clubface. A straight shot requires them to match up perfectly. Not easy.

I have an R11 and my standard drive is straight or a fade. I've tried using the adjustability to close the club face but that seemed to cause more problems so have gone back to the neutral setting.

Just wish I could hit a draw at all:fore:.
