Well i played my first round of the year yesterday And the first issue i had was with the irons sliding under the ball with an open face causing very high shots tailing off to the right, loss of distance was a killer, but i shortened my follow through and focused on hitting down and i fixed it, But with my driver i cant do that else ill take a divot which is stupid The odd thing is if i set the clubface left, feet either straight or slightly right, and just swing nice n slow, i get a really nice ping sound and decent distance nice straight shot with either a slight fade or draw Could this setup actually be quite good and its just my perspective that makes it look criss crossed?? I cant seem to square the face otherwise

Another thing i noticed is i setup, take my grip, the clubface is square But as soon as i relax my arms and wrists they just sorta drop and spin to the right leaving the clubface wide open, And when i slow practice swing i can easily see that on the downswing once i return to adress position my wrists are rolled back and clubface is wide open I dont get it :s

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
