Off the Tee

Question
Hello, how are you doing? In the past I was having a problem with hitting the ball off the tee to the right and it flying straight. I have worked on my alignment and I can now get the ball to start on a straight path to the green. The problem that is happening now is that the ball flies straight about half the way then starts to tail to the right. It is not a slice but a small tail on the end. It is just enough to cause it to roll into the rough some of the time. Also at times the ball will take off and seem to be like a knuckle ball moving what seems to be to the left and right back and forth slightly. It may just look like it is doing this but that is the best way that I can describe it.

Thank you for your help.


Answer
Hello and thank you for asking.  There could be many different reasons for your question here, and it would be near impossible to tell you exactly what the solution is for you in one step.  However, I can tell you some possibilities, and then if you would like to answer some more questions, it will be a lot easier for me to answer you accurately.

First, it can be equipment.  If you are always using used or second hand balls, the flight of the ball will not be accurate.  Another could be impact.  If you are not hitting the ball crisply, you can impart the wrong spin on the ball causing it to fly differently.  This also has to do with which club you are using.
