It's difficult to explain over the internet....but basically I used to swing more with my arms, rather than using my shoulders/hips in my swing. I wouldn't rotate my shoulders with my backswing, my club head would go out, and then come in towards my body as I was making contact. I started to focus on rotating my shoulders with my backswing, and making sure that the path of the club was going away from my body and not towards it. This took away the side spin at impact, and as long as the face is square at contact, my drives go straight as an arrow and ~280 yards.
What shaft stiffness do you have on your driver?
the way i fade/slice it, i wouldnt be surprised if my head was open and my swing was out to in ... i also used to play baseball and one of my main problems was looking at the ball after i hit it instead of swinging through ... i'll go to the range today and focus on rotating my shoulders ... i also got lucky enough to catch two shows strictly on driving the ball just now on the golf channel so i picked up a few tips ...
i just bought a new driver that has a stiff shaft ... first time ive used a stiff shaft but im getting the same results ...
