Losing distance on drives

Anybody go through a period where they just lose distance? I haven’t changed anything in my swing and still hitting it pretty good off the face but I feel like I’ve lost 15-20 yards off the tee and it’s only with my driver.

Did you change golf balls?

Yes... Mine is due to a severe lack of efficiency on strikes and hitting the ball with way too much spin .. my average clubhead speed with driver is 113ish and if i try to slow down i feel completely outta sync..
Getting on a launch monitor would definitely benefit and help you figure out whats going on..

I'm not sure where you are located but here in South Louisiana the ground is a sloppy mess.

Well when your ball hits a wet ground as it tends to with gravity it doesn't roll out as far when it a dry and firm.

^this is the answer to so many questions. In fact the nature of the question does not even have to be tangential to golf.
Buying something new is always a solid answer to any inquiry.

Yes. I did. Driver just lost its pop. Bought a new driver and issue resolved itself. In fairness my driver was also like 15 years old at the time
