Course good....dare not drink their water.

I have made a stance adjustment this year(straightening my back) and have a much better feel and consistency to my swing this year, and am killing my irons, but my 3 wood and driver have developed a decent slice and have weak distance. I feel like my irons have good distance (PW-135, 9-145, 8-155, 7-165, 6-180) without trying to murder the ball (hit an 8-iron 170 when trying to murder it) and hit them dead straight but can't get my woods straight or have good distance. I've tried stance, where I'm teeing the ball, hips, hands, and can't seem to fix it. The only thing that makes sense now is that I have a regular shaft on both and maybe need a stiff shaft since my swing has improved and is faster. Does that seem possible? I'm completely lost as to why I can't hit a good tee shot anymore.

Edit: I'm not going to go out and buy a driver with a stiff flex as I can borrow one from a few of my friends and test it out, but can't play until probably Sunday and wanted to see if my thought process made sense.

Tiernan;1442865 wrote:its most likely grip related not stance related. Try rotating your right hand further over top of the left, instead of the V formed by the right thumb & forefinger pointing over your right shoulder it should now be pointed at almost your breast bone. You may lose some distance at first but when this grip becomes more comfortable and consistent you will be back to your regular distance.


You're welcome...that'll be $150. ...and you know you'd gladly pay that if it works.

ZWICK 4 PREZ;1442923 wrote:You don't need a stiff shaft. You'll hit a regular farther than a stiff no matter what. It will just be inconsistent.
Your new stance is obviously changing your impact position and you're no longer hitting the driver at the same point. So your launch angle has changed and undoubtably your spin rate has changed. Until you get the correct tempo and impact position again, you're inevitably going to hit it worse.

Keep in mind an iron swing and driver swing are different, no matter what people try to tell you.

Tiernan;1443212 wrote:if you already have a your right hand rolled left and you are still slicing, your swing is coming too far outside to inside. Try setting a tee lightly in the ground 12" directly behind a teed ball on the range. On your backswing knock this tee over with the butt of your driver on the take-away, now try to bring your downswing directly back over top the knocked down tee to produce a more inside to outside swing and this drill also helps you square the club face on impact.

I've found some people think they have a "slice" when what they really have is a "block". I take it you know for sure its a "slice"?
