I’ve lost significant distance with all my golf clubs in a very short period of time. I used to hit my driver 230 yards, now I only hit it 170 yards. I don’t have any physical limitations. This change has occurred almost overnight. Any ideas what could be the reason?

I’m 70 years old and was as low as a 7 handicap, now 15.

You could be flipping your hands at impact instead of turning on the ball.

It happened to me a couple of years back.

What is your trajectory looking like? Might be adding loft at impact.

I'm still relatively new to all this, but this is exactly what happened to me. I was convinced my driver was broken/dead until i realized that I was hitting everything at a near 30 degree launch angle.
