It is entirely possible that you do not have the mechanical break-down until you get to the driver. For me, as a 3 handicap, I can be hitting everything great but I have a tendency to go over the top with the longer clubs and when my timing isn't so great I hit some big pulls and slices. For me it's just a matter of getting better at getting my right shoulder working down-plane in the downswing and hitting a lot of basic motion shots will not help a lot with that. But the basic and acquired motion will undoubtedly help a lot with a host of other issues. By the way, do you have enough loft on the driver? Do you maybe have to scoop to get it high enough in the air? Matt Originally Posted by solarbear With variations - 6 months. I have not been using a 3iron. From 150m (not yards) I would pull a 6 iron and carry it that far. No handicap ATM. I only get to play 9 about once every 2 weeks, but I play consistant bogey golf now. A huge drop. A year ago I could not break 100. Bogey golf is not too bad when you do not get off the T well. Yesterday I played 9 - 3 bogeys, 3 doubles, and 3 pars. Only hit 2 fairways with my driver, so after taking my medicine, the bogeys were not too bad. At least I can chip! Oh, Cobra SS427, 10.5 loft, Reg flex. Been thinking of doing some basic motion with my driver to improve my hand action (into a net), but the ground around here is all dry and I don't want to ruin my driver. __________________ "In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts) mrodock View Public Profile Send a private message to mrodock Find all posts by mrodock
