Solid Snake
I am terrible for wanting to give the complete story of my golfing outings but that might bore you so I'll keep it as short and as sweet as possible.
Yesterday I played 18, at first I played very badly. At the 7th hole my friend handed me his F speed, 12* King Cobra Driver. I addressed the ball and realised something. Something very profound. I realised that maybe I had been holding my driver incorrectly; maybe my grip and address encouraged my extreme slicing. I made a conscious effort to address the ball with a closed clubface so that by the time I take a 1/2 -3/4 smooth swing at it the club should be straight. I didn’t try to straighten the club face through my swing; I just made sure I was gripping the club firmly and at the correct position at address and swing as smoothly and as naturally as possible.
It was incredible. I used the Cobra fro the rest of the round I fell in love with the King Cobra Driver and will definitely be buying one. Basically the rest of the round - 12 holes I missed one fairway. For me that is simply unheard of.
Not only did I hit almost every fairway but my drives were longer than ever! I even hit one ball right off the heel end of the face, it shot left and then faded back onto the fairway and was as long as all the rest. My friend picked up his club used off eBay and I am definitely hoping to do the same.
Due to my terrible score in the first few holes and some terrible putting throughout on very fast greens that I was no used to, I managed to shoot 100.
Still the satisfaction I was getting from hitting 250 yds effortlessly and straight was fantastic. I did try to use my old driver but the club head was small and it felt so heavy compared to the huge light cobra. I also loved the huge clang it makes on every strike.
The club wasn't even offset so I think that using my new technique with draw bias would now turn my almost beautiful fades into stunning draws.
