Why are my new golf clubs causing such a Draw/Hook?
April 24th, 2009 | by admin |
Richard P asked:
I purchased some new irons about two months ago. I have played golf for a while now and decided I would be better off with custom fit clubs because I am 6′1. I ordered a set of cobra cb irons w/ .5 inch longer shaft, 2 degree upright, stiff flex sensicore saft and 1/64 bigger grip. Every since the first time I hit these clubs they have any where from a slight draw to a hook. I dont feel like my swing path has changed from before and I never hooked. Any ideas
These clubs are not offset. I previously owned the nike CPR 2’s that w/ stiff shaft and standard length and grip. I hit those with no slice or draw because they are not really made to work the ball.

Its not the clubs. Its your swing.

Did you happen to buy the Cobra irons with offset shafts? If so, the clubhead is striking the ball having already passed the centerline. If not, you’ll need to be more specific (what were your old clubs, previous shaft flex and type, how did you hit before) for any advice to be more targeted.

Maybe you just suck.

Probably you. Because they are stiff, you are probably forcing your swing. I mean your probably rushing it.

if they are not offset, its absolutely your swing…time to hit the range and break your swing down…it could just be that these clubs are lighter and therefore you are getting around a lil bit quicker than with your old clubs…just hit the range with a bucket and you’ll have it figured out before long if you have played a while as you say
