Aim right and/or open the face. I struggled on the front nine today because I was pulling everything to the left. Aimed at the pin, I would end up about 10-15 yards left of target with my short irons. Off the tee was the same story. I posted an 11 on a par 5 because I put 2 shots OB and literally hugged the left side of the fairway the entire way down. Finally got on the green after 9 shots. I adjusted on the back nine by simply aiming wide right on most shots, and I would end up coming in line with my target. It ends up looking like a draw, but I feel like it's more of a pull hook.Originally Posted by pootaing
I'm hooking the +++$ out of the 3w right now, and can't hit it off the deck very consistently...
What 3w are easy to hit off the deck and don't have a closed face at address?
This came into consideration as well, but i hit every other club in the bag with a baby draw rather than hooks. I'm not sure if im getting handsy with my 3w, but i dont have this problem with any other club.Originally Posted by eaalto

What I noticed may have been causing it was misalignment at address. If you play your right foot back in your stance (closed stance), your body mechanics exaggerate an in-out swing path that puts a counter clockwise spin on the ball. Playing your left foot back in your stance (open stance), your body mechanics exaggerate an out-in swing path and put a clockwise spin on the ball. Having a closed/open club face at impact will also impact the overall flight/directionality of the ball, but with a square face at contact, those alignments are easy ways to play a draw or a fade. Hypothetically, having a perfectly aligned stance and squared face at impact will yield a straight ball flight.
It's usually not the club that is causing your issues, it's your swing. To test, go to the driving range and play your stance open, and tell me if you still hook the ball with your 3 wood.
not worth it.... r11's head is heavy so you better buy a weight kit and put the r11 on a diet.... also the r11 is DEEEEEEEEEEP if you hit it right in the center of the face. missing even by 1/2" from the sweet spot, the ball sounds hot, looks like a great flight, but it mysteriously loses distance.... like 15 yards difference. great driver but you have to hit it perfect.... believe me, that was driver 4, 5 and 7 for me this year....Originally Posted by reigndrop
anyone play an r11 driver?
i have a diablo edge r flex that clearly cannot handle my 107 mph ss anymore. i balloon it or hook, way too much spin, launches too... it was good when i was a beginner and having trouble getting the ball in the air, but not anymore...
looking at getting an r11 with a rip alpha or ahina, any thoughts?
fyi my current driver set up is 11* stock habanero shaft.
Just hit up the used driver bin at your local golf store...The R11 isn't going to drastically out perform any recent offering from any manufacturer over the last 5 years. And kobe is right...the head is heavy as @**$. It's a nice driver, don't get me wrong, but it will be old news once the next "hot new driver" comes out next season. I don't hit it any longer than my 5 year old driver, food for thought.Originally Posted by reigndrop

983k 9.5 degree with X100
904f 19 degree with S300
3 - 9 Irons with S300
Wedges with DG Wedge Flex? (same stiffness as S300?)
I could leave a graphite shafted 3 wood or hybrid in there, but I'm starting to really like the feel of steel....
