contact towards the toe

[pshizz]

i have been making contact towards the toe lately with my wedges, and sometimes with the irons. I read somewhere that shaft length usualy is the reason as to why people are mis hitting the ball. I was wondering, does this mean my shafts are too long or too short. Could this also mean that i need to lie angle to be flattened or made upright? thanks in advance guys.

Generally too short. Also may indicate that the lie is too flat, but I would check for the length first. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I was hitting almost every shot on the toe.
+0.5" length and 2° upright did the trick for me.

I consider myself to be a very good ball striker (relative to my handicap). I too "toed" may shots but it had nothing to do with the length or lie of my clubs. My pro told me my hands were a tad too low at address. It took all of about 15 minutes to resolve. Give it a try before you start messing with your clubs. Check this link out, they offer are a few other suggestions.

I just noticed that I hit towards the heel on a normal basis and it has nothing to do with club length or lie angle. at setup I was lining up on my right hand, but my left arm is the dominant pivot. I'm forcing myself to reach a bit further at set up now, having my left arm hang and orientating from that spot. You are probably doing the opposite, reaching out too far at address. Let your arms hang down loose under your shoulders, and then put a club in your hands and let it lie naturally.

Stand a bit closer but NOT too close or you will hit the s*@!*

I had a lesson the other day and the pro told me that clubs are sized for people 6 feet tall. If you are shorter than that just choke down. I'm guessing the lie angle would need to be reduced.
