Hi Ball Flight

[robthegolfer]

Hi everyone,
Having played this wonderful game of golf for over 15yrs to a 5 handicap there is one thing, problem or whatever you want to call it that i have never been able to get rid of........and that is a very very high ball flight! i have been playing with pings for the last 5yrs or so with a regular shaft & thought that was the problem so i recently bought a set of snake eyes 600b forged blades (xtour shafts) in the hope that this would definately stop the high flight........alas to no avail, now i know what everyone is going to say who replys to this new post...its your swing, its your wrists, etc etc, but believe me when i say this, i have tried every drill, swing, quick fix, tip there is and still the high ball flight continues!!

Any help out there would be most appreciated, anyone got the answer let me know......its drivin me nuts!!!

Hi Rob,

Difficult to guess without really seeing your swing.................

The usual things which cause this are ball position to far forward, check using your reflection in a window or mirror, you may be suprised where it really is compared to where you think it is.

Being a 5 h/capper then you are correct it will not be much of a swing fault, it will be something you have done for years, probably staying back a fraction longer through impact, I first thought maybe the reg shafts, the stiffer the shaft the lower the flight for a fast swinger.

Try to post a clip if poss.


Hope this helps


Ian.

A statement and a question:

1. I would kill for a 5. (Okay, envy is a sin, and I shouldn't say this.)

2. Do you draw or fade with your longer clubs?
