| Got out today for the first 18 of the new season. Had your problem for the first 2 months last year, every time I tried to put some juice behind my swing, zoom, big looping slice. Then I ended up paired up with a old gaffer and he introduced me to the baseball swing. My driver never gets above my right shoulder, and in many cases its below the shoulder. Its a flat trajectory swing, like a hitting a baseball. I still cannot really crank it, seems when I try the old slice comes back. So today I just said to myself, keep the right elbow tucked in and go for 3/4 power. 15 fairways today, and managed to keep the 3 wood in the playing area also. So what am I saying, slow the swing down and try a baseball swing, you'll get all kinds of guys saying this is wrong and crazy, but I like playing from the middle of the fairway, I'm too old to go crawling around in the woods anyway.
