So after starting to break 100 I decided to go to a pro and have him look at my driver swing. I hit drives straight- but only 200 yards on average. A pretty humbling experience.

What I saw on the video was a very very flat swing on the driver compared to any of the pros. I swing it around my body with the head not even reaching the top of my shoulders. The pro said this was more like a baseball swing and this was robbing me of power.

So I tried a swing using a more upright swing on the driver and it was a disaster. I sliced every shot badly and had no distance at all. If I were to go to that swing it would be a long time before I broke 100 again. In fact the driver would probably be relegated to the range for months.

Using my old swing I have hit straight drives 240+. And and am pretty sure I can get to the low 90's with the swing I have now (maybe even high 80s) So I am just wondering, does anyone else use a very flat swing for drives? Do you get good distance from it? Is it worth me rebuilding everything? Or should I just try to work with the flat swing I have?
