Stuck on the Right

[skwon11]

I'm stuck on the right. I had my swing video-taped and broken down to confirm it. I think I've tried everything in the book (right knee in at address and during the backswing, weight just on the left foot at address and during the backswing, etc., etc..) but despite this... somehow... I always end up stuck on the right. I have toyed with playing the ball back and it actually works but it robs power which at my size... I need all I can get. Having said this... I hit ltos of shots fat or come over the top and hit a pull. Any tips? Drills?

Be sure your right leg is becoming straighter during your backswing and your right hip feels like it is rising a bit. This will move your hips on the same angle as the inclined plane (also help the club work in and up properly) and push the weight more to the left leg. At the same time the back leg is straightenting, the front leg is flexing - they go together.

This is likely a combination of things honestly. I would guess that your front shoulder is also rotating on too flat a plane and moving too much toward your back foot. Here's the fix and this will feel quite different to you.... imagine you are standing talking to someone...just standing tall...from there tilt your left shoulder down at a point that would be on the ground just outside our "outstep" of your left foot. This is side tilt of flexing the spine to the left. Feel more of this in the backswing to be sure the shoulders are turning on a steep enough angle and that left shoulder is working DOWN enough. Dave
