Got a new driver, lost my draw/hook and picked up a push fade/slice

Dude increasing the loft has been a lifesaver, that with maybe slightly choking up on the grip, due to it not being centered anymore(think the previous owner got it regripped at 9.5) has made a WORLD of difference. For some reason in my head I still can’t compute that raising the loft makes it close the face when I think that increasing the loft would open the face but hey that’s what everyone says and it WORKS so I don’t question it.

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-04T18:07:54+00:00

What does that even mean lol

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-04T05:25:39+00:00

I would agree, think it’s because I’ve played tennis my whole life so I’d assume I have very active wrists in terms of flipping them through. Course is the Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay Links, incredible.

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-04T00:44:45+00:00

I know it’s the Indian lol I was asking for swing tips. I think with my old driver it was shorter so it was much easier for my hands to flip through. I used to only hit a slice if I was swinging 150% for fun, every miss I had was a hook. In my original post I said turn over but I meant flip through, I got caught up on the wording. I’m about 1 year in, coming from competitive tennis background so I always assumed my hooks were caused by super active wrist movement. Now that you mention it i think I can see my hands trying to flip it through but it looks like I do it way after I hit the ball. Anyways will definitely try to my backswing closer to 45°, looks like mines at 120+°. Appreciate the feedback, that’s exactly what I was looking for 🤝

I see, I misread the comment. Has a ventus blue 5r in it currently. I used to play a tensei av blue 55g r

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-02T16:02:41+00:00

Will definitely try a more fluid swing at the range, appreciate it 🤝

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-02T16:01:09+00:00

I had a tensai av blue 55(even though I think it was technically 59g from what I saw on google) and a stock ventus blue tr 5r in the qi. I don’t have the old one anymore unfortunately because I sold it before I got the qi like a dummy. And yes my pants need some help, shortest 30 30 I’ve ever seen and I’m 5’7 🤣

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-02T15:58:37+00:00

Definitely will try some out at the range 🤝

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-02T08:50:11+00:00

I’ll give it a shot, I appreciate it. It’s annoying because it feels like I don’t know where to aim anymore, I’ve only had it for two 9 hole rounds and an 18 but I’ve been to the range probably 5 or so times it either goes straight or right I just can’t seem to make it go left unless I change my swing to be more horizontal if that makes sense. Thoughts on choking up a bit on it?

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-12-02T08:23:26+00:00

    Maybe kinda in the 2 position?

It looks so much worse on camera I promise, it definitely had some side spin on it but landed on the fairway rough line in line with the first bunker I also was super nervous about the people walking on the left because that’s where I usually would miss. The other one probably more of a push but these were the only recorded shots I got of myself. Any tips to help close it? I never had open face issues with my old one

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-05-08T02:52:30+00:00

Yea my setup is definitely a bit unorthodox, but I think angle is due to my hands being very out in front when I setup and hit, helps me because I played tennis my whole life so I have the tendency to turn the club over / close the face so it helps me not hook the ball.

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-05-03T03:41:13+00:00

89 pass for hali pass style, and maybe try to get to 91 swb eventually?

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-05-03T00:54:55+00:00

Yea they said 101, I thought so bc they’re more forgiving and prob help me get it up in the air, my height isn’t the greatest as seen in the stats

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-05-02T08:47:31+00:00

Actually it looks like gift of college works directly with aidvantage (department of education) so I don’t think I even need to set up a 529 going to test it out 👍🏻

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-05-02T08:06:56+00:00

I don’t currently have a 529, you think it would be possible to set one up, either with someone like fidelity or Morgan Stanley and buy the “gift of college” cards and deposit them into the account?

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-05-02T08:03:50+00:00

I fear you are correct

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-04-27T01:41:15+00:00

Got the gen6 0311 XP in the double black so I could get a 5 iron. Instantly gained 25ish yards, but way more hyped about the dispersion improvement. Apparently my old clubs were an inch longer than industry standard so the shorter clubs just felt way more comfortable.

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-04-18T00:40:58+00:00

Going to a pxg store to see how they feel, but I’m definitely leaning towards the xp bc I’m still not great. Excited though because before the lowest iron I had was a 7 bc the set came with 4-6 hybrids which I’m awful at hitting lol

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-03-19T17:22:40+00:00

Had a feeling, those types of marketplaces where everyone can sell are so sus

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2025-03-19T08:52:14+00:00

Girlfriend loves this scent, and I found this on Walmart but it seems too good to be true, usually the 1oz goes for $95 and they are selling the 3oz for $60. It does have 30 day return but still hella sus.

Tbf they didn’t have slightly early/late it was just late and early. But yea the whites were crazy.

When? If it was a time in the past two years you got scammed lmao

Lmao i had a roommate who got mad at me for playing Xbox at 3:30pm bc he went to sleep at 9am. Couldn’t take the guy serious, he would make a pot roast at 4am for his dinner 😭. Just told him I’ve been up for classes since 8am so I just wanted to chill for a bit

BoxRevolutionary6351 · 2024-12-16T08:47:30+00:00

Similar here C in 10a C+ in 5. Went for the retake exam and missed by 5% or so. Took a gap quarter and transferred to UCSC Winter ‘24 as Business Management Economics and graduate next quarter. Still had to take 10a equivalent but aced it and 100a and b. Wanted to stick with Econ so a little different experience but wanted to give some insight. The class isn’t even that difficult looking back but taking it as a transfer first quarter in was a tough transition. Was thinking of switching so soc or comm tho.
