Jeez. If you're swinging that fast having just started, please I beg you get some lessons now. Seriously. You'll be killing the ball. Spin rate is way too high which is probably a good bit of technique but also could be a bad driver fit for you. If you can't afford lessons, just get on youtube and lookup how to hit a driver. Tons of great stuff out there. Probably more helpful than what you'll get here. The driver …

Thanks for the information. I've watched your swing over and over and really can't find a fault with how your right foot is working through the swing. Hearing that you're happy with your iron swing only confirms that for me. Personally, I wouldn't change anything mechanically with your swing. If you're missing out right, I think it may be a setup/alignment issue. From the angle, it seems like you might be playing …
