After a long period solid ball striking, I've started hitting pushes/blocks; I usually play a high draw.  Haven't had time to see my coach about it yet, but a good player at my club mentioned that I'm getting "stuck" on the downswing (never really figured out what that meant).  I definitely have an in to out swing.  Another thing I noticed is that is that on my downswing/follow through, my right toe drags forward (after I've shifted, so my weight is on my left foot).  My guess is that I'm sliding forward too much, but can't be sure.  Any idea if either of these possible issues could be the culprit? If so, and good swing thoughts/drills to correct?  Thanks.

Start a swing thread and we can help you more from there.

Without seeing a swing and what you're describing with your right foot, this might be a good video to check out.

Thanks Mike.  I started a swing thread, hopefully the video works.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
