Re: My driver decision... made for me

Well buddy, golf is a simple game, though it's certainly not easy. You CAN change your swing path-- you're not stuck with it. But that being said, it doesn't sound necessary. If I could hit a controlled cut all day long, why the hell wouldn't I? If I could hit anything long, consistently, all day, why wouldn't I? How often is that cut really undesirable? One to two holes a round? Play those for bogeys if you have to.

There's no way hitting a cut with the driver is keeping you from shooting par. Hitting the ball all over probably has something to do with it.

ABUSE the cut. It's a very forgiving shot shape. Maybe look for a steal on a Hibore XLS tour or something that actually sits 1-2* open so you don't tease yourself into trying to hit a different shot.

You can break par with one driver shot, brother. Especially as long as you can hit your other stuff. If for some reason you just CAN'T feather one out there left to right, hit it short off the tee and try to make your par. Stop ****ing around!

I was playing a course with TOOOUUUGGHH greens, and I was making par or bogey one very hole teeing off with a goddamn 4i or less, because I couldn't hit anything longer to save my life. Shooting a good score isn't hard if you keep the ball in play and hit it decently. A 260+ yard reliable cut is way, way better than decent.

You ass!

Pales in comparison to my butter draw, though
