Need help with my driver. Most of my balls sliced or pushed right today.

Step slightly farther away from the ball, don’t aim way left it actually makes it worse, take away low and slow and most importantly

Keep you weight on your front foot and forward!

This will help you get through the ball. I was actually hitting draws today. ( that’s a big deal for me)

Also, you don't always need to hot driver. Especially if there's hazard/OB where your miss is.

Someone told me to use my 4 or 5 iron to tee off with instead of my driver. I haven't used his advice yet

If the driver isn't working, don't use it.

Step further away from the ball and move it back in your stance.

Also your grip may be too weak which can cause slices and pushes as well

Can be a lot of factors. Grip, over the top, stance/weight, set up, alignment.... you need to see your swing on camera. Either way, you have to get through it and turn on the ball with your hands dropping into the slot. If your hands don’t drop, you can’t turn properly.

Weight on front foot? Backswing and forward swing?

It’s impossible to actually do, but it’s a swing thought I have to use. Otherwise, I shift all of my weight and end up with it on the back foot at impact and beyond. That’ll have the ball going high and right.

Thinking about keeping the weight forward keeps me from swaying (“salsa dancing” as Beaverpro once called it)

I see. I try to always concentrate on keeping my weight on the inside of my back foot and getting my front shoulder under my chin going back and getting my back shoulder under my chin on the downswing. I have made a full turn if I can do that.

Just give up. It’s obvious you’re not athletic enough if you’re not showing potential by shooting that bad. Just awful.

Shot 76 at bayou oaks south today. Second round I’ve played in 2 years. Eagle on 11.

Easy game. Just tap it in and don’t suck so much.

ETA. Greens were rollin nice.
