That is exactly what is going on with me.When I go after it my attack angle gets steeper resulting in a much lower ball flight and sometimes a hard left hook. When my tempo is consistent my launch angle and control is impressive though I can't help but believe I'm losing some yardage. However, I'm 62 now, and still struggling with the yardage I'm losing - haha@!
Initially I was seeing good flight and good distance with my Smoke Max (a fade, but not crazy distance).
The more I got going after it, it went from a fade so a slight hook, and now a massive hook.
I just can't get it dialed back properly right now with a bunch of other changes that are going on.
For me it is all path and face, and am working on getting that fixed to try and even things out and get playable reliable shots again.
