Hey everybody! I'm 14 and right now am shooting well. My last 3 rounds were 82, 81, 83 so I'm pretty consistent. My goal by the end of the summer is to be shooting in the high 70's on regular basis. My short game has really stepped up and I'm putting lights out. The weakest part of my game is off the tee. I was using a Nike NDS 9.5 driver and was slicing it to the right just about every time so my dads buddy let me have his Titleist 983 9.5 driver and I'm hooking it now. If I could hit most of the fairways I know I could be a great golfer. My tee shots are costing me many strokes and its really annoying considering that is one of the easiest parts of the game. I really have no idea what to do. I've tried messing with my grip, stance, swing, everything but nothing is working. If anybody has suggestions, tips or advice as to what i should do it would be greatly appreciated.

-thanks

Well the first thing I would suggest would be to have a pro or golf teacher look at your swing and stuff to see what is going wrong.

See golf doesn't begin on the 1st tee and doesn't end on the 18th green... its a life long journey.

DO NOT CHANGE YOUR FUNDAMENTALS !!!!! unless your are really dedicated to do so. If not you will cause alot of uncertainity about your golf swing....but yea we cannot tell you anything w/o seeing your swing ..it would be near impossible...

You said you have changed drivers, what shafts were in both drivers?

Does your swing differ greatly from your iron play swing?

Slice with one driver, and a hook with the other? Sounds like a shaft flex issue to me..see a good pro, sounds to me, like you may just be using the wrong equipment.

LOL! I jsut noticed the Big Bertha driver under my name..that's great, I love it!

Its kinda weird because both shafts are stiff flex. I've been doing some research on shaft flex and i think I'm going to try a regular flex and see if anything happens if not then i will definitely see a pro.

Shaft length? Grip size?

Don't overanalyze it yourself. See a pro and take both drivers. Some drivers are made with the face closed or open to combat a hook or slice. It could also be a weighting issue. And also remember that not all "S" flex shafts are the same. There are no standards, so one company's "S" could be another company's "R" or vice versa.

I would advise hitting your 3 wood or a long iron off the tee box until you get the driver straightened out.
