Good day at the range, impact bag, need driver help

[steeler350]

just wanted to say that I love this game , am no good at it , mainly because I own a small business and have no time + 2 small children no time to practice or play & didnt find the game until i was 30 ( now 37 ).

 

usually play maybe 3-4 times per year , get to go to the driving range 1 or 2 times a month ( looking forward to when the kids are old enough to go so i can go more often ). when I play i usually score anywhere from 95-105. Want to get better, have in the past been the closet TRAINING AID person. ( anything that looks like it will help me get better in a short period I will waste my money on, I have had them all.(( finally learned it aint happening without practice)) )

 

I have taken lessons, no time to practice whats taught , sometimes havent trusted what the teachers were teaching.

 

Anyhow from the lessons ive had i know i am the classic over the top casting slicer. After reading a lot of old post here and seeing the amount of people who recommended something as cheap and easy as the impact bag plus this quote from slicefixer

 

One of the best training aids there is..........I've seen some of the worst casters/throwers/slingers INSTANTLY get the feeling of holding their leverage/lever.........ya' got to in order to give the bag a good POP

 

So i buy two , one for work and one for home, have been using them probably 2-3, 5 min sessions a day now for a couple of weeks. Went to the range to day and it started off bad. then thought to myself just pretend the bag is about six inches in front of the ball and turn back and turn through to hit the bag.

 

Man o man , i have never ever ever , ever hit as many balls as well as i did with that one little thought. Ball starting a tiny bit right and coming a few yards back left could this be a draw :D Previously the only thing going left was a straight pull or big nasty handsy outright hook.( i am always over doing the thinking. where are my arms, rotating correctly , swing with this, do this , dont do that, blah blah blah etc....etc.....)

 

It was all good from my wedges to my hybids.

 

Now I get to my driver and I am hitting it fairly straight but fading, ( not a big banana though, whew....... good :) )

 

I just feel good about today and wanted to post and also see if anyone had any advice on straightening out the driver. or other drills for the impact bag ( didnt really practice with bag and driver together, suppose that will help.

 

Heres to hoping that this swing thought continues to help me in the future.
