Your tee shot can really make or break your mood
Think back to the last round you played. What was the worst score you made on a hole? A triple bogey? Worse? Now think about the tee shot you had on that hole. There’s a big chance your bad score came from your initial shot.
The secret to scoring well is finding yourself nicely on the fairway in the first place to give yourself a decent approach shot opportunity. But it’s easier said than done.
Many of us suffer from either hooking or slicing the ball, and we automatically compensate on the tee when we’re expecting to hit our drive to the left or right.
It can be the best feeling however when perhaps on the rare occasion we hit a perfect drive, and we get to walk up to our ball sitting proudly in the middle of the fairway.
Today we want to explain why you’re hitting the ball the way you do, and how the latest golf drivers from Callaway can help you straighten out your shots and help you find more fairways.
Slicing the ball
Slicing the ball is a common problem among club golfers of all levels. There are a number of different reasons as to why you’re slicing the ball the way you are.
In most simple terms, slicing the ball occurs when the clubface is very open to the swing path. Why this is repeatedly happening for you could be for a number of reasons: Your thumbs may be too dominant in your grip. You may have your feet mid-aligned or not quite be turning yourself flexibly through your swing.
If you slice the ball, this club will help centralise your shots.
The Paradym Ai Smoke Max D driver’s construction includes a high MOI clubface, meaning the driver is incredibly resistant to twisting on impact with the ball, giving you some reliable, accurate strikes. The club has also been weighted to ensure you have a consistent, stable swing.
Hooking the ball
Hooking the ball is the complete opposite, you’re coming over the ball too strong and hitting it dominantly to the left.
Rather than having the clubface too open, you may be flicking at the ball. Moving your wrists too much through your swing and sending the ball sailing left.
The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max driver has a forgiving shape, and the perimeter weighting allows you up to 19 yards of shot correction. This useful mechanism will give you an adequate degree of fade bias to help keep you from hooking your drives to the left.
For the consistent player
Whether you’re a regular golfer that makes it to the course multiple times a week, or someone just starting out looking to cut their handicap, Callaway has a golf driver in their range for you.
A low-spin model that’s ideal for consistent ball strikers that want to get the most out of their drives, the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond driver features a 14g weight that’s been positioned near the front to give you fast ball speed and low spin. If you have a fast swing speed, this is the club for you.
If you’re unhappy with how you hit your drives, two things will help you. Getting some golf lessons booked in, and treating yourself to some new equipment. We can offer you both in the pro shop, why not pop by?
