Hello all,
First time poster so be nice.
At the driving range today i noticed that while i was hitting my Irons, 3 woods and wedges perfectly straight I'm really struggling to to hit my driver without it slicing, If I try to hit the ball the way I do with my irons I slice wildly. It's gotten so bad that I feel i have to adapt my swing to hit the ball with my driver. It feels like i have to swing the club like a baseball bat to get it to get even a little bit straight and even then i still slice a little and lose a lot of distance.
After coming home i decided to google the problem and came across a few threads on shaft length, I'm about 6ft my driver currently measures 45inches, now iv been reading that a shorter club increases control but will lose distance, at this point I just want to hit the bloody thing straight.
So my point being is that does a short shaft help? As at this time my driver is my only bad club!
Any help is massively appreciated, Cheers.
