Long Irons / Woods draw & short

[tecumseh]

I've had the SkyTrak for a month now, relatively happy with it except for the long irons and woods. 6 iron through 60 degree I like the distance and accuracy. However, I get the opposite with the other clubs. With a 4 iron, ball starts left immediately and continues that direction with a low ball flight and draw. On a real course, I can't hit a draw to save my life. Same thing with 3 wood, driver. They start left and draw. I've read about the indoor swing, but how is it that it would only affect the long irons? I'll continue to play around with the ball placement, but it's getting frustrating, as I'd like to play the wgt tournaments. I can't now, as I'm usually out of bounds off the tee box. Thanks for any tips.

If your ball is starting left and then curving farther left that is not a draw. That is a pull hook.

Sounds like you’re flattening your swing, a common symptom of indoor swing syndrome, especially with longer clubs and shorter ceilings. Try standing a bit closer to the ball, take the club back more vertical, and move the ball forward in your stance a couple inches.

Thanks GHG. Ceiling height isn't an issue, but I do worry about walls. Will give it a try and post back tomorrow.

Same thing happened to me. +2 handicap but with the ST I was hitting massive pull hooks all through the bag. After the last 3 sessions (2h each) I am now up to hitting a 5 iron normal distance and a baby draw. Still hooking it like crazy with anything higher. Keep working on your swing and it will come eventually as your subconscious relearn sits environment.

Woods and long irons much better today, still not getting distance, but pull hooks have pretty much disappeared. I think making my swing more vertical did the trick. Thanks for all the help.
