Driving Range Help

At the range today I had a few problems that I would like you guys to help me with. With my irons they were all going right but not even like a fade it just was straight but to the right. My driver was playing a crazy fade but not quite a slice which is very unusual for me. I usually play a draw. I have gotten stronger which mean my shafts could flex too much but I dont know. My clubs are not custom fitted because right now I don't have the money to get new clubs. My contact wasn't very good either so please give me tips.


-Thanks

Might be your stance. Check it and align your stance to target.

One shaky range session and your asking for tips? Blaming the clubs? Take a break, have a beverage of your choice, think positive thoughts and try again later.

i'll take a wild guess from what i have observed many golfers that do the same thing, including my two sons. i would say to look at your right knee to make sure that it is not locking up or over swaying, which, if this is happening, will cause your shoulders and body to open up and maybe a small reverse pivot, which seems to cause a push right.

keep the knee very firm, but flexed and do not let it sway back. it should feel like your starting a race but sideways as well as keeping the shoulders square to the target line.

the problem is all swing path.
