    For the past few rounds I have been pulling my driver to the right, and landing in the rough. Tis has cost me a few strokes, I've had people look at my alignment and they say that I am lined up good. But no one can figure out what happens in the swing. I hit all my long irons and woods just fine. Does any one have any tips?

    Ok so the man said im pulling to the right. Based on this im guessing your a lefty. Now then my first suggestion is have a PGA pro look at it thats the best thing you can truly due. but I'll give you a few thoughts on the matter. so you have to ask your selft this. is it a pull to the right were the ball goes straight no fade or draw or hook or slice. Whats yoru normal ball flight. And are you working on changing a ball flight currently meaning you used to hit a slice or a strong fade and your trying to change this and this is whats currently happening. theres alot that goes into this its more than just pulling the ball.    if your pulling right and used to hit a fade this means you have an out to in swing plane, and all your doing is hitting the ball squar with the face. your feet are on line but your club is squart to your swing plane and your hitting the ball flush just not on the same line as your feet. most straight pulls are a result of out side to in swings with a strong top trailing hand. lefties this is your left hand and righties this is a right hand. When people MUSCLE up then thend to become right or left hand dominate early in there swing pushing the club outside the desired swing plane.   If you normaly hit a fade and this has been a recent change and you want to go back to a fade relaxe your grip and your fade will come back.  If this is more of a hook it means your finishing to high in your fallow through. if you are finishing low and it looks more like a snap hook meaning it starts right and truns even more right this means you entering your swing plane shallow and finishng low with strong dominate hand and the ball is to far forward. cousing you to pull is. There is alot that goes into hitting the boom stick straight or straighish. its not hard just takes work and a good idea of whats going on. Agine get yoru local pro to look at it. I cant see what your doing so im just takeing stabs in the dark and like my old pro used to say advice is you get what you pay for. but if you want more online advice give me an idea of what your shot is like.  Be honist with your self and tell me what your normal shot is and if your tying to change it and this is a result. give me your original shot shape, whats going on with this pull, and if there is a desired shot your trying to work for. then i can leand a few more thoughts. but anyway keep playing the game its fun for a life time.

    Whenever i start pulling the ball to the left, it usually means that I coming around to fast with my arms. I usually try to just keep my back facing the target for just a little bit longer to allow my hips to get a little further ahead before starting my arms down.

    Every time i start doing that i am decelerating at the ball almost trying to guide it. Make sure you are at maximum power when you get to the ball and I bet ti will come around.

    if your rt pushing rt check your hand positiong at impact and alittle after. its posible your completing your hand wrist rotation through impact.
