How to fix this swing fault.....

[ajschn06]

I've been having problems...typically I hit the ball with a nice little draw or straight.  After a winter off, I went to the heated range the other day.  A lot of shots ended up shooting straight off to the right, and everything else was a push slice.  I couldn't seem to hit anything lower than a 9 iron straight, and have been feeling like I can't get through the ball if that makes any sense....

If the ball starts off to the right and goes straight or slice, the clubface is open at impact. Before you get that part fixed, you can't know where the swingpath is going unless you look at divots, but if you were hitting draws and straight shots last year, it should be OK.

Check your grip, make sure it's the same as last year, no hands twisted or turned either way. On the backswing, make sure you don't rotate the club too much open. A severly cupped left wrist can also cause an open clubface at impact. Don't try to violently roll the arms over through impact, it might do more bad than good, but at this point you should definitely work on getting the clubface square at impact by eliminating whatever is causing it.
