Without wishing to tempt fate, it appears I've solved my issue with the driver.
I took Bob and Brians advice and worked on getting the club face square through impact as opposed to hitting a push fade.
I've put a lot of range time in with a member of our scratch team helping me out. Saturday I took driver on 4 holes and hit all 4 fairways. Took 5 wood on another 5 and hit 3 of them.
Now. The one thing i did notice with my driver was the flight i was getting was pretty penetrating I.E low. My ball position was level with my big toe (left foot) but wad still getting the penetrating flight.
My question. The shaft in the driver us the stock Mizuno Fubuki, as i understand it, us a low launch/mid launch and low spin. Would moving to a shaft with higher spin gain additional height? If so how, do higher spinning shafts affect lateral spin as well as back spin to gain height?
I'm not overly fussed at the minute as the low flight gives me masses of run on landing. Even on wet fairways we played on last week. I'm more curious as to how the different spinning shafts effect the flight of the ball (I.E do the shaft and head work together as in irons)
Any opinions/input appreciated.
