I have had a series of lessons recently, and the good news is I am hitting my iron shots better than i ever have. Straight, decent distance with a nice flight to them.
I am still seriously struggling off the tee though. My swing path is much improved. I am hitting it straight most of the time with the very occasional slight pull/slice but nothing too destructive.
My problem is trajectory/spin.Played a quick 9 last night and i hit 3 drives that felt like they came off the sweet spot of the club, they flew straight but they only flew about 160 yards into a slight breeze. It was like I had hit a 5 iron...
I am guessing I am flicking my wrists at it and adding loft, something i used to do with the irons but have trained myself out of by really working on getting my weight forward and through the ball. I've also moved the ball back in my stance slightly which has helped with the irons but i can't seem to break the habit on my tee shots and it's holding me back!
Little help?
