First off this may seem strange with no uploaded video of my swing, but I'm wondering if I have worked out my problem.
A mate said I don't "attack" my ball with the driver particularly compared to my 3 wood from both off the tee and the deck which I hit so well. I don't have any issues with hitting my rescue or irons.
I have hit some cracking drives but not with any real consistency, the flight is straight but weak. Just when I think I've cracked it (last issue was no spinal tilt) the success is short lived and I just seem to fall backwards. Now I think I might have realised what I'm doing, just by swinging with no club in the house.
The issue I think is that for some strange reason I don't seem to turn as much with the driver in hand compared to the other clubs. I think this is because the ball is further forward in the stance, opposite the left heel, I have to turn more( or at least it feels that way). By turning more, or feeling like I do this in turn seems to help the right hip turn more. Does this sound right in that you actually do turn more with the driver compared to 3 wood ?
Also strangely I seem to have a psychological issue with the driver, because the head is so massive I seem to think that I somehow don't have to hit it!!!
I wonder if anyone else can relate to this alien and strange issue....:mmm:
