I'd have to see your swing, but a 3 wood swing and driver swing should almost be the same

Go to the range some time and try to hit your driver less than 100 yards with a full swing. You can't cheat and stop at impact or only take a putter-length swing. A lot of the time, hitting hooks is a matter of just getting too fast with your arms and trying to hit the ball too hard. |

but seriously and as for the post above ... in my Monday league ... I don't use my driver. Not worth it. I hit 80% of fairways with my 3 wood and about 20% with my driver and most of the time my driver only goes about 20 yards further although when I really get it good I'll get it around 270-280 I've really worked on my swing but no matter what I do I can't figure out the driver ... and I golf daily ... and work on it almost daily |

For a lot of people it can be a matter of the extra shaft length. Most modern drivers are just too long and should probably be not much more than 43-44 inches. |

Also, most people misinterpret their actual ball flight. A real snap hook will have a divot pattern that points to the right, indicating an excessive in-out swing path. The ball will start right and snap hard left. That's different than a pull-hook, which will actually go much farther left. Your swing path is the opposite, out to in. Also, pull-hooks will be hit off the heel. A true snap hook is hit off the toe. |

Cheaper tip is to choke down on your existing driver. Maybe tee it up a bit higher too.

I see. I'm not much for not hitting driver but I drive the ball well. Fairways surrounded by hazards/OB or is it just trees? I'm tired of modern courses where every missed shot results in a penalty stroke. I prefer a chance to hit a great shot out of the rough/trees after I hit a bad shot off the tee. It's way more fun.

I walked up to watch Payne Stewart while he was practicing late one afternoon and he was hitting 3 woods working on a fade. He said all you have to do is hit it hard with your left side if you want to fade it. Try it!

O,
If that is indeed true, then it would be impossible to hit a board to the outside of the ball if you didn't come over the top. In fact, it would be impossible to get truly stuck. |
