Re: long swing today for some reason!

Do you have a swing speed of over 105 mph? Highly unlikely. How far do you hit your driver Ricky? If you answer over 290, then maybe consider switching to a stiff shaft.

As for your swing with your driver, make sure your stance is a bit wider than your shoulders.

Don't try to get so wide with your driver. It seems everyone thinks they will hit the ball farther with a wider swing. But, if you can not hit properly with a normal swing, how will widening your swing improve your distance? Work on getting consistant with a normal or even compact swing with your driver. Once you drive the ball straight every time (a few months in a row), then work on widening your swing.

Re: long swing today for some reason!

Your stance sounds like it is quite good just wider than your shoulders is just right.

You said you hands feel long and loose - typical feeling of someone trying to keep their hands as far away as they can, which is how you create a wide swing. Also, do some drills with a morror -make sure your driver is parallel to the target at the top of the backswing.
