Craig I am at last starting to get some shallowing of the arms and right arm.

Hi Craig I am at last starting to get some shallowing of the arms and right arm only iron swings feel much more smooth and getting some speed now although more to do. Axiom/C4 movement is feeling much more natural. Remembering that the whole point is to play better, more consistent golf, I am trying to come up with a strategy to get my iron swing onto the longer clubs. With the driver the swing definitely feels different so I’m doing something else. Furthermore the more drives I hit can adversely affect the irons during a round. I can sometimes self correct but not always. However a 5 wood off the tee feels much more correct and performs well on Par 3’s. So I am considering using a 3 wood off the other tees rather than the driver for now. I tried this yesterday and on hole 3 I hit further than ever before and lost the ball in some long grass quite a way beyond where I expected it to stop. I’m hoping this strategy will enable more consistency on-course while I continue to work on my swing off-course. I feel that I will be able to achieve and maintain the shallowing across irons 5W and 3W if I just ditch the driver for now as it’s adding too many variables. Once I have good wood performance off the tee I’ll try the 5W on the fairway. Thoughts appreciated. Diane

Hello Diane. Taking the 3 WD approach is fine. I have done that at certain times in my career until I felt comfortable with my driver. Eliminating big numbers and adding more fairways will increase the chance of better play/score. However, don't make the driver the enemy. Probably something simpler than you think causing the issues course wise. We would be happy to check and see if there is a quick remedy to start making the driver more comfortable in your hands.
