My heel hits occurred because of early extension and not keeping the right elbow bent. I picked up the Callaway Easy Swing to help with this. See my other post on the right elbow if this is your issue. Straightening the right arm too early caused the clubhead to move outward of the swing path and cause a heel contact.

Most Prolems with heel contact will be due to not squaring face, i struggled for years. The reason shots slice is open face on way down and body tries to square throwing club out towards the ball. Watch Eric Cogorno youtube vid Twist away video best thing i have every learnt in 25 years of playing golf!!!

Welcome to TST. This thread is over 5 years old so keep that in mind.😃 That being said, I’m not sure you explained what Cogorno was saying exactly. One can still hit towards the heel with a square face. Also, just having an ‘open face’ will not cause a slice. Open to what?  If the path is coming inside to out and the face is open to the target but closed to that path...you’ll hit a draw.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
