Power loss?

[EHSGolf1]

Would I be loosing power if my front foot ends up pointing out and into the fairway instead of being where is was at adress? Does this mean that I'm not posting up against my front leg during my swing?

Front leg should be solid through impact.

Does it turn prior to your down swing or during?

What is your ball flight like?

The foot motion that you described is not that unusual (to a certain degree anyway).

See the attached pics of Chad Campbell as a pretty typical example.

No. I do not think so. I do not have the leg flexibility to keep the foot perpendicular to the target at address so my foot must move. It actullay puts less restriction on my body rotation if I move it.

Source: I turn my foot and still have higher than average swing speed.

I guess my foot turns after impact my foot turns. I think the reason this happens is because i almost jump after impact for some reason. Right now my ball flight is inconsistant. One of my big problems right now is that i'm not getting my hand turned over.

I actuallty had the same problem. The way I solved it (for my driver) was by placing my left foot an inch or two ahead of my right and pointed to the target line. Since I am a bigger guy this allowed my arms to swing back and forward in the same plane. Before, when I was squared to the target line, my gut would push my right arm out and off plane. The result was me pulling it back online with a "coming over the top" finish....even though it wasn't really coming over the top.

What led me to discover things to try was taking my swing very slowly, but smoothly. I was able to see what was happening and tried different things to see the results. If I took my left foot back, my body turn was limited. It was all trial and error, on my patio, with a cheap wedge....
