Long story short I went for a fitting and I am very consistent with path but I am adding loft and I am all over the club face. 

How do I start to fix this?

The weight of the shaft can often help. I find I have more control with heavier shafts.

Thanks for replying Erik.  I don't like to name names or speak for someone else but I went to Petes golf in LI NY and I am confident that they can get the right arrow, It is the Indian.   They want to adjust the shaft but I a releasing early which I know is me but I am literally all over the club face.   There is no new news there.  I am a draw/hook guy.

Since you went for a fitting recently... Did you have the clubface issue before the fitting? And did you get fit for a new set of clubs or your existing set? 

I have been working on the clubface control issue with my driver, and I find it has a lot to do with my takeaway right arm extension at impact and club path. For me, it seems to be a combination of those things, but I'm still working on it too.

I was having issues, with GC2 and HMT it was easy to see.  They did not want to make wholesale changes thay swapped a shaft in one of my clubs for me to try.

Maybe just get a can of aerosol foot powder or a dry erase marker and work on it at the range?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Don't fix a thing.  Hitting the center of the face all the time wears the grooves out faster. :-D  Your clubs will last longer.

I spent a bunch of time practicing with face tape and foot powder until I got my contact position improved. Set up to the ball was my biggest issue.

You mentioned releasing early. You're probably releasing early so you can hit the ball. Releasing early is a symptom, not the problem. Find out why you're releasing early. Since you're hitting all over the club face it is probably causing problems with consistency in your game. The name of the game is consistently getting the ball to target, and that require consistent contact. 

I'd get with a qualified PGA professional. Someone who uses slow motion video and has a GC2 and can help you accomplish this.

I completely agree with the suggestion here of getting instruction. If that is not possible at the time, you might consider using the Evolvr swing analysis service. It has really helped me with isolating a bunch of issues. My swing was a mess! I had (and have) the early release issue. My issue is a combination of club path, right elbow and left shoulder. My priority now is the left shoulder. But anyway... Golf is a more of a journey for me.

Maybe start with posting your swing in the MySwing thread. Just a thought.
