I have been having a lovely love affair with my TM R5 Draw since I bought it just a few months ago. Distance to die for and the slice tamed.
However the last few outings have been a disaster for driving. Everything scurrying into the trees on the right. Played earlier today and sent a ball into a bunker. On the wrong fairway!
Anyone else found this problem?

You`ve Probably Weekened Your grip without Knowing It.. If your right handed Try Turning You hand on the grip so you see a Little More of your right Knuckles.. This Minor Adjustment can the Difference between a Slice and a Non Slice..

Of course its not forced to be this! but its worth Checking...

Good Luck

Paul.

had same problem, moved left thumb 1/4 inch to the right of centre sorted it, I get a slight fade if I don't give it everything. hope it helps.

Keeping your hands forward in the stance slightly also helps.

Ps.. I hope the Dog Recovers from the Electric Cart Incident in your Avatar... ;)

LMAO, nice spot paul, guffaw guffaw.

;-)~ too much

I was contemplating buying an r5 draw version myself for it's intended reason of reducing my 'fade'.

Me thinks a re-think is called for !!

No need to rethink, mines still working very well. I have found I get abit to confident with it and start to use too much power, so I have to slow things down. Start by slowing your take away down and so on, hope this helps.

Have just been looking at the TM R5 Draw D and was wondering if this would help with my slice, any suggestions?

What happens, Jahmoo, when you step on it?

when I try and step on my FT3 (draw bias) I know I lunge with my hips and the result is I lose rhythm and my natural swingpath. This usually causes a big block (which sometimes drifts back a wee bit) and is the same with every driver I've ever hit.

I must say I've tried the R5 type D and really liked it, though I didn't draw it consistently. The FT3, for me, is longer and the draw bias more effective, though the sound and feel may put some off. And while I know it's not designed as an anti-slice club, the Cleveland Launcher seems to encourage a draw as well.

Its winter are you wearing more clothing than normal as this can sometimes aide the old slice and we tend to hang back a bit cause of more clothing on and not get right through the ball

I'm sure the ads claim you can hit a draw wearing a straitjacket. No? Must have misread it.

Never mind club honeymoon periods, ask yourself why you SLICE the ball with a DRAW bias club. Find the fault and fix it (HINT : it's not in the club).

spot on g-bhoy.

Go get a lesson and the pro will tell if the basics (grip, posture etc.) are correct

Little bit more confussion i think.

Anti slice clubs for slicers are not drivers with a weight bias draw.
If you want an anti slice club buy a driver with a closed face.

Interesting threads.....I was going to buy an R5 Draw but decided to go for the Type N instead although I do tend to slice the ball especially when i really go for it..i wanted to own my problem not try mask it, Dogleg rights beware..lol! But I saw my local Pro (instructor that is :O)about it & I was taking away with my shoulders & also starting the downswing with them as well....Of course creating an outside in swing & hey presto great slice! My thought pattern now in my swing is simply take away with my shoulders & "whoosh" my arms through & not lead with the shoulders trying to creat a more proper inside out swing..& guess what..at worst now i have a fade when I welly it (its so hard not too)....I even created a few flukey draws...

don't get rid of the driver, go for the cheaper option. go and see your club pro for a lesson.

its never the club's fault that you slice; its your technique.
the hardest lesson in golf to learn as i have found out TOO many times.

Buying a club to counteract the problem is not the answer. The answer probably lies with your grip or the other possibility is that the shaft is too stiff for your swing speed (usually to do with pride). I'd always choose fixing my swing than buying an 'anti-problem' club.
