Hello, not sure how to search fot this issue hope its not out there. I just picked up a set of G20 (sized to me). And now the ball goes to the left big time. At set to square the face my hands are near my front foot with ball center between legs. Kinda at a loss. I'm getting help in the spring, just looking for some tips until then.. Thanks in advance,

It can take a little while to adjust to new irons. I dunno why, you'd think it wouldn't make a huge difference but it can. When I got my new clubs I was hitting them super clanky and thought they felt like crap, but after a few rounds I started finding the middle (kinda) of the face and now they feel sweeter than my old ones. Maybe start with some half swing punches until you're getting your line and then work your way up from there.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I don't believe that new irons could be a factor in going from huge slice to pull hook.  From a professional teacher on my pull hook, it was all about the legs, hips and shoulders.  My pull hook was a predominate arm swing with no assistance from the body.

Look up ball flight laws on this site. IDK if you're lefty or righty, but this should tell you how the two ball actions could be interrelated.

Yep, they are the same issue, just a clubface problem.

It probably has more to do with the clubs weighting and how your swing reacts to the club. Still, a pull hook and a slice stem from the same issue, a very inward swing path at impact.

If you want to go back to slicing, then open the face up more in your grip and swing like you normally do.

Ha ha, I highly doubt that's his end goal.

I'd keep the evens of my old set, and the odds of this set.  on average, you'll be right up the middle
