Why am i drawing my irons but fading, and slicing my driver?

Question

Today at the range i started to slice my driver, and my 3 wood.I am hitting a nice powerful draw with my irons (8 iron=170 yards) . It didnt feel like i was casting, i may have been though. Any suggestions?

Thank You

Answer 1

Its your set up.

Answer 2

You stand further from the ball with your driver and 3 wood so you are swinging with a more outside in baseball pattern unlike you irons that you swing inside out.  On your driver and woods, finish high with your swing.  That should keep you from coming around on the ball instead of through it.

Answer 3

Make sure your ball position on your driver is off of your front foot or left shoulder (assuming righty).  I also recommend setting up your club a few inches behind the ball which will promote hitting the ball on your upswing and allowing you to square the club head at impact. Use that ball position and slow down your swing to 80%.  It will be easier to get through the ball that way.  A slight pause at the top can also work to allow the start of your downswing with your hands and not your hips (block).

Answer 4

Your hands are getting ahead of your club face.Slow down your backswing

Answer 5

release your grip

Answer 6

I agree with the post above me...Murella I think, but it could also be ball positioning. Try moving the ball around in your stance.

Answer 7

Without actually seeing your swing, I have a feeling that your swing path is slightly from the outside -- the irons (with their additional loft) are pulling to the left, while the woods are fading.
