I went to the range last night, and after warming up with a few iron shots, I decided to hit the big dog for a while. My driver is a Hogan C-S3, technically not a 460cc but close enough.
I remembered this thread and decided to try out the suggestions; for one reason or another, I actually hit some good shots!
I teed up with 3" tees, and my complaint here is they they break after 1 hit. Does everyone do that?
I set the ball up close to a line from my left foot instep, considerably further foward than with any other club. Normally I have not done this with my driver, due to fear of slicing.
Set up for center hit on face and on slight upswing, check.
The other things I tried to keep in the back of my mind was to get a
full shoulder turn; when I don't do this I tend to slice; straight left arm on backswing with left hand extended away from my body; proper weight shift.
Afte swinging the driver for 20 balls, I finished with 5 balls hit with a 7 iron. That club felt so small and light after the driver!
On my next trip to the range, I probably won't be able to hit worth a damn, but this trip felt fine.
