I have been using a Taylormade Draw driver for about 2 years. When I first started playing golf about 3 years ago I had a bad out to in swing, but with practice I have been able to change my path to inside. My driving for the last several months has been horrific usually resulting in 2 to 5 penalties per round. The ball just reallty draws hard prob a 40 yard hook. Anyway yesterday I was fed up so I went in to the shop and tried the Tour burner which has a square face compared to my driver that has a 2* closed face. I had no idea that it made that much difference my 40 yard hook turned into a nice 10- 15 yard draw and better yet I could fade the ball w/o much trouble.

I hear ya...My misses off the tee were always slices, so I did what I though was logical and got a draw version FT-5.
It helped at first but now, a couple years later, my misses are almost always hooks. I realize its my swing that causes the big hooks, but the closed face sure doesn't help. I kind of wish I would have just bought the neutral version and learned to hit it. |

Yeah I wished I would have bought the reg. r7. I had TM r7 draw Irons also but already ditched those and started using the First set I bought cheap set of Dynacraft prophets (less offset)
Just goes to show you not to buy clubs based on your swing as a beginner b/c if you plan to practice and get better you will out grow those quick. Plus changing your swing path is a whole lot cheaper than Super Game Improvement Irons. |

It's the natural progression of things to come.
The closed faced driver had helped you several years ago, and now you're ready for a more advanced game. I had always thought the "Band-Aid" cure is not a permanent fix for the swing flaws |
