Question I'm actually getting to much forward spin on my drives. This is new to me. I usually hit it 265 (250 air and 10/15 yards of roll) with a nice trajectory but I was at the range today and the ball would go about 210ish, fall fast, hit the ground, and roll 20-30 yards. My hunch is that I'm actually hitting too much up on the ball and maybe too armsy with my swing. Any thoughts?
Answer James:
Bad golf balls. Do not mess with your swing. Bad range balls fall out of the sky fast. Do not read into this. Forget that day occured and don't practice there again. If you usually hit 265 and carry it 250 with good trajectory, you suddenly won't have no clue what to do. Your swing will not change so dramatically overnight. Forget it, find another place to practice and keep doing what you're doing.
