Ok, kinda new to golf, newish, started learning to play 2 summers ago not played too much this last year due to my wife giving birth to twins, but now they are 10 months old I am able to sneak out from time to time and get some practice in at the range. But when I manage to find time and someone to get a few games in with I am thinking I may just have to give up with the driver which really bugs me! I just can't seem to fix my mega smothered hook problem!
When I started out I used to have a big high slice, probably like 99% of newbies. I worked on my outside to in swing and also my over the top swing, when I say work on it I mean really work on it, I was hitting about 100 drives a day and using the zepp to try correct things. I went through a really sweet period where I was hitting drive straight or with a slight draw, in fact I found the driver my most reliable club for a while. But now I can't get the ball off the ground hardly. It is just getting worse, i used to hit an Taylor made areo burner, it had started creeping in then, then the titanium head split right down the middle probably simply due to hitting 100 drives a day for a year, so I bought a cobra king as a few months earlier I was at American golf long drive comp and was hitting a few months rent and they went very nicely indeed, also with being adjustable unthought I might be able to fix it by adjusting club to fade and moving weight to back of club. Didn't work, club is on the most fade possible setting with weight at the back I still get smothered hooks. Unless really throw my hands so far out on the follow through almost like a cover drive cricket shot.
I aren't really wanting to ask advice on how to fix it unless you know of a tip that help get me get my swingath more on plane and stop me getting my weight so far forward all the time.
Really just asking opinion, if you have a club that has become a liability is it better to just ignore it or is the only way to get to anhalf decent standard to just keep on using it?
Thing is, I'm never gonna be a pro, I do naturally generate fast club speed since I am quite tall with kinda long arms, so if I played sensible golf most of the courses I have ever played would actually never need a driver to make the green in 2 with irons as long as it's not over 420 yards (2 5 irons) but also I'll never probably hit the green from 200+ yards with a 5iron where u can get pretty close from sub 150 yards of which the driver is needed.
I dunno, I will probably just keep using it against my better judgment, thanks for reading this, although I appear to be answering my own questions as I go along, probably just have to get a pro to take look at my swing.
