past couple of rounds, ive been purring the irons real real good, but driver wich i rarely think about or adjust, is out of whack. Same thing everytime, dropkicked duck hooks. they start out to the right of target line or on line then they just turnover kinda like an overhand tennis shot.
ive adjusted the grip, tried to think of more of an angled hinge. I also hitting lower on clubface then usual.
Usually, alll i think of in my drive is right shoulder back to plane and drive that shoulder downplane-inside aft.
I might be getting a little to quick out of rythm from the top.

hmmm
any thoughts?
Hi Son,
Whenever, I hit these little fellas its usually the result of swinging out to the right a little too far then excessively rolling the club face over in an attempt to draw the ball back.
The real bad boys also have a touch of over the top with too steep of an angle of approach. That really gets the club face closed and the ball hammered into the ground.
Food for thought.
Hope you and the family are all doing ok. Curiously enough, I was looking at your December 2006 "welcome" pictures this afternoon.
Useing Angled hinging while swinging will cause the clubface to be super closed at the top and start down, and a swing with not manual over ride will create an automatic horizontal hinge in the downswing, causing the clubface to turn even more shut unless you over ride the natural horizontal hinging by trying to vertical hing or trying to create an angled hinge. You are Switting, and Steering. If you want to swing you need to use a horizontal hinge.
Another Part of your problem which most golfers share, myself included would be that you are probably thrusting your hips towards the ball which drops the club way behind you and you have no room to swing thorugh so are forced to flip.
Try to use a horizontal hinge, especially in teh backswing, and implement a startup Swivel.
If you want to use ANgled Hinging Try Hitting.
Also going back to driving the right shoulder downplane and cranking the gyroscope and just letting horizontal hinging take over and watch them fly straight downrange

I have found that when I start hitting the ball a bit low on the club face it is because the club head has already started its ascent! The trick for me is to make sure I take an air divot and makes sure that my thrust is doowwoon! I have noticed that good ball strikers tend to strike the ball higher on the face than you would think. I watched (as I have mentioned in other posts) Nicky Price striping one drive after another years ago taking divots each time! Interestingly enough the driver has more loft the higher you strike it on the face, so hitting down will not neccessarily prevent the ball from gaining much altitude. Impact fix will tell you where the hands need to be...take them there!
