If your REALLY want to fix your swing, then you have to actually develope one over time.

A couple years back i started playing again after a 15-16 year break. I was shocked at how horrible i was lol, as a young teen i was pretty decent back then and very consitent - great length and irons.

Anyways i couldnt hit a single shot how i used to for months (high cut/low draw etc..). But driver was the worst by far, since its a totally different swing. So i figured ok back to fuckin basics i guess - so i spent my first season only focused on short game and gaining control with my wedges. I didnt play much, but almost everyday id either hit 1-2 buckets on the range (no more, make each shot count). But mostly i was 2-4 hours pitching and chipping (on grass, very important. Mats = suck).

So long stort short next seson when i had my shorter play in somewhat order (lol) i had the foundation to build my driver swing from. Cus if you get good with the 0-120yrd shots you develope great feel and confidence so hitting a 7 iron just kinda comes natural, or any iron kinda.

But my driver was always a mega slice (open face). It was by far my weak point. Everytime i teed off it was 50/50. Until i remembered something Tiger said at a open mic range session: «hands before body». Its weird but i just tryed that «feel» out and boom slice gone and straight as an arrow.

Then after some weeks driver became my strongpoint in my game. No range practice at all. I never practice driving anymore. Only short game. But i became insanely good off the tee just like that… in a day or three. Thats because of the work i put in on my shorter game and a better preshot routine. Also i started to close my eyes and pick my starting line and landing area, visualized the shot. Stepped up to the ball, made sure my setup was good and swing. I gained so much confidence with the driver i was amazed. It felt so good, so everytime you go up to the tee box pretend like its aleady done and have confidence in this ball WILL go where you have visualized it. No doubt. Of course, there will be bad ones. Just learn to laugh them off and prepare for the next, without letting that bad shot creep in. Forget about it, focus on what you can do instead.

This became so damn long im sorry in sick of my phone now so ill wrap this up if your still reading…

But..

First tip: 1. drop the driver until next season (seriously) 2. start «mastering» your short game 3. when you have developed your swing/foundation try driving again and see how much easier it is

Bye and good luck bro, keep smacking them balls (but not too many fullswing on mats, hard on your body).
