Can not get off the tee box to save my life right now

Put your change in your left pocket and wear your hat upside down.

if that was what your lesson was you just took, i dont want any part of it

eta: is this also Jim Furyk's swing technique? it sounds like someone describing his swing.

if i hit a second one, it is crushed right down the middle, really frustrating.

Hmmmm.... without seeing your swing, I can only imagine that you are:

A) over swinging on the first ball and swinging smooth one the second one

B) swinging easy on the first swing trying to guide it, and pounding the second one with your normal/real swing.

It’s all mental at this point. Tee off with a 3 wood and quit being intimated by the big stick.

Aim small, miss small? Doesn’t necessarily have to be a 3 wood but if you’re hitting your irons well, why not sacrifice distant off the tee for accuracy? Sure, you’ll have an extra club into the green but you’re eliminating the penalty shot if you duck hook OB.

I’m all for gripping it and ripping it off the tee and taking my medicine on having an inconsistent driver. I’ve just now been adopting the art of nerd golf and find that it’s helping lower the scores.

Stop doing the run up.

See... I'm not keen on using a 3 wood if the driver is sucking. The problem with the 3 wood is the sweet spot is even smaller, so
stats would show that hitting a 3 wood would be worse.

That seems like it would be the case....but I gave up on my driver because I have an incredibly terrible slice with it. I hit my 3 wood much more straight. For the life of my, I can't figure out how to fix my nasty slice on the driver.

Probably over thinking things. Try to simplify things. Like focus only on the contact, ball on the middle of the club face is a great last thought before you swing

Without seeing your swing, my 2 misses that produce the dreaded duck hook off the tee are:

1.) Grip it and rip it mentality. I try way to hard to hit the ball and not swing through the ball.

2.) Ball placement/tee height. move the ball back in your stance a little and see what happens.
