Lots of distance but no accuracy?!?

Question

Hey =D

I reeealy need help I am 15 and can hit my 3 wood around 290 yards (i think this is far, don't own a driver) but the only thing is my accuracy is terrible i either push it to the right or hook it to the left and mess up the hole and advice would be very greatful =D

Answer 1

So now you must learn to hit every club straight for 60 yards. If it goes sixty yards on the right line, the rest will follow. Work on the beginning of the ball flight first, then the to end. If you can hit it 200 in the fairway, the hole will be reachable. Just remember, an extra 10-15 yards doesn't really matter if you are in the middle of the fairway. Remember a hard swing is a bad swing. Remember if you want to see a bad shot, watch yours fly. If you pick your head up, you lose all trajectory control.

Answer 2

Dont try to kill the ball. Shift your weight so on your follow through all your weight is on your left foot (if your a righty). Also on your follow through square your shoulders with where your aiming.

Answer 3

Ok, so you swing so hard that you don't have any balance left to have a consistent and accurate swing. Stop trying to kill it.

Answer 4

I think u better get a driver, sounds like you're over swinging, and probably griping too hard as a result.  when you grip hard your forearm muscles tighten causing you to swing off plane and have inconsistent shots.  I suggest toning it down, loosen your grip and work a bit on accuracy.  Distance means nothing, without control, I hit my 3 wood about 260-270 on average off the tee a bit less off the grass but I hit it straight.  Im not a pro or anything but i do have a 4.4 index.
