Re: Grip it and rip it?

Hi

I am looking for some advice on my driving. I have just changed my driver, I had a Ping G2 with an NVS65S shaft but struggled to hit it over 200 yrds. Now I have an R7 425 with the standard reg shaft (having a slowish swing I thought it was best to move back to a reg shaft).

I am now hitting the ball with a carry of 175 - 200 yards! I hit my 7 iron about 130 yrds. I am not convinced the problem is the club, I think it is the power I generate through the swing. I regularly shot in the low 80's, consistently straight (with a little draw at times).

My distance throughout my clubs puts me at a disadvantage as I am always playing a mid/long iron into the par fours. Though 9/10 hit the green if I was on a high iron I would be making far more birdies/pars!

Any advice on building power in my swing would be appreciated, maybe I am swaying my hips rather than turning? My shoulder turn is full but I feel no tension/coil at the top. No matter how hard I try and hit the ball on the way down I get the same distance!

Any ideas gratefully received!
