My heel hits occurred because of early extension and not keeping the right elbow bent. I picked up the Callaway Easy Swing to help with this. See my other post on the right elbow if this is your issue. Straightening the right arm too early caused the clubhead to move outward of the swing path and cause a heel contact.

Most Prolems with heel contact will be due to not squaring face, i struggled for years. The reason shots slice is open face on way down and body tries to square throwing club out towards the ball. Watch Eric Cogorno youtube vid Twist away video best thing i have every learnt in 25 years of playing golf!!!

Welcome to TST. This thread is over 5 years old so keep that in mind.😃 That being said, I’m not sure you explained what Cogorno was saying exactly. One can still hit towards the heel with a square face. Also, just having an ‘open face’ will not cause a slice. Open to what?  If the path is coming inside to out and the face is open to the target but closed to that path...you’ll hit a draw.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.
