If you angle the back foot OUT a little at address it'll help your turn

lol!!!

spent over two hrs reading this topic this morning.....great stuff

I'm a mortgage loan officer and been in the business for 12 years. Glad to be part of the forum!

I only played one-handed for a couple months (spring) since have returned to two-hands. Are you saying lie angle does not affect the posture in a golf setup?

Hello, I started golfing a year ago and have a couple questions about lie angle. I'm hunch over at address (which is uncomfortable), but it's the only way I can get the club to the ground. I have a slight over-the-top movement at the top of the swing which get my swing off plane (take-away is on plane). I don't have any issues hitting it straight (the tendency is a hook vs. slice), because slightly prior to impact my club finds its way back on plane. I would guess many players don't have a correct fitting, but "figure out a way" to hit it straight. Question - could my lie angle (too flat) cause the hunch over at address and increase the slight over-the-top movement, so I'm able to hit it straight?? Early last season I injured my left hand (rightly) but continued playing (one-handed) and took lessons. At step-up my posture was comfortable (more upright) and swing was perfectly on plane and other than having a tendency off hitting off the toe, I hit the ball straight. Technically speaking, I have a better swing one-handed than two. I have a lesson on Tuesday, but want to run this question past you boys/girls first! I appreciate anyone's thoughts

I agree.....I'm going to try and change the position of my right (back) hand.

Thanks for the info MVMAC - I looked at my glove this morning knowing it had a couple holes.

hmmm.....people have told me my thumb position doesn't look right and watching my video, I have to agree, it doesn't. It might be something I have to change. I might start taking some reps with interlock and give it a fair test for a wk.

Video from behind the ball flight was straight (maybe slight draw - hit a five iron) and I don't remember exactly on the other video - but I made solid contact on both. I have a tendency to pull/hook vs. slice

Good point
