My first post and just wondering, does anyone else have issues when it comes to driving the ball? Does TGM work really well for Iron play, but not so good for Drivers?
Before I got into TGM, about a year ago, I was a 10 handicap struggling with golf my 7 iron went about 150 yards, now I’m a 6 handicap payer with a 7 iron flying 165 to 170, and it’s all to do with compression and lag and a flat left wrist, so I agree 100% that using TGM for iron play (and actually putting) woks really well.
However, I cannot keep my driver on the golf course, it sprays all over the place, my really low scores come only when I employ “course management” which is another phrase for being too scared to hit a driver of the tee I use a 3 wood or hybrid or iron, which is no fun at all. Is there anyone else having Driver issues, can anyone point us in the right direction?
Thanks

TGM is absolutely correct with EVERY CLUB IN THE BAG THAT IS CORRECTLY FIT!!!.. I say this because I have found in teaching and fitting people, loft is especially useful. Think of it this way, it is easy to explain shaft lean with a wedge or even a seven iron because if the shaft leans forward, you still have loft. However, most people play with too little loft with the driver, and when you create the proper geometrical alignments with a driver, the ball goes low right. This is the reason that 90% of the people I teach hit a 3wood or hybrid better...they have more loft.

The average player needs to produce a minimum of 13 degrees of launch angle. If your driver has less than 10 degrees of loft, what must you do to produce the lift? Swing up? bend the left wrist? Bend the plane line? Why not just put more loft on your driver and produce the same alignments that you produce with your other clubs.

I recently worked with a Hooter's Tour Player and convinced him he needed at least 11.5 degrees of loft on his driver compared to the 9 degrees he was using. The first week he put it in play he finished 3rd and said it was the most consistent he had hit is driver for 4 rounds ever and that he actually felt like he was making the same swing throughout the bag and not compenstating for the Driver. He no longer "fell back behind the ball" and maintained a steady head DOWN PLANE.

Remember what Trevino said, "give me loft, I'll take it off".
