Why do I strike the ball towards the toe end of the club?

[polred2007]

Hi All,

I have made a small adjustment to how I line up with my clubs at the ball which has resulted in much more consistent ball striking. However, I am concerned I have not really dealt with the problem head on?

I now align the middle of the ball towards to heel of my club. When I align the the ball with the middle of my club I find I am striking the clubs way off centre towards the toe?

Now, I have seen some pro's line up the heel of the club to the ball before swinging and conversly I have seen some pro's line up the toe of the club to the ball. But can anyone suggest why this may be happening with my swing and advise me whether the method I am currenly deploying is a good long term solution?

Many, many thanks in advance

It could be several things (lie angle, setup) but most likley, youre coming over the top and swinging across your body.

That would promote a left to right ball flight would it not?

Hi All,

It sounds like you've already

address ed the problem. I'd say that anyone who's ever encountered a shankapotamus has a tendency to err on the side of caution.

Or a pull or hook. It depends on where you have the face at impact, as well. Closed and across the top will make the ball hook, a open face will make the ball slice.

Oh my god, I think you just solved my problem right there as well.
