Tune Up a 2 Wood
There is a trend among high handicappers to use a 2 wood or add left to drivers. Brassie offers control and similar distance to a driver or 3 wood, easier on good turf, and helps with drawing the ball. If slices persist ask a pro if a brassie is available to boost confidence and control.
