you can be twisted your body too early as well as simply closing the clubface.

like you said it could be many things. alot of people submit these kinds of ?'s but its realyy hard to see without a video.

If the ball starts out straight and curves left, its a simple case of the clubface being too closed at impact relative to your swing path. Your arms could be outruning your body, grip too strong, or ball too far forward. If the ball is starting left from the jump then you are actually pulling it with an over the top or outside in move.

What happened Dent? Injury? Could be coming over the top a little with a closed face, usually the most common I think.

In addition to what has been stated; check your alignment. You feet should point parallel to the target line and not at it. If you stance is too closed (front foot closer to the ball) it will cause many of the previosly stated things to happen, or at least contribute to it.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

I had a similar problem earlier this season. The cure came when I intentionally started to grip the club looser, especially with my right hand (right-handed). Also, getting the grip in it's correct V-positions helps! Make an emphasis on getting the left hand and wrist in form during the down-swing.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
