Hitting behind the Ball

[stjames]

I have a tendency to hit behind the ball (fat). I think i don't turn my hips or follow-through the way i should.

Do you have any tips to get out of this bad habit? My back-swing may be too much pulling me 'backward' and getting me out of balance. Would appreciate feedback on this. TQ.

on your backswing, keep your weight on the inside or left edge of your right foot (assuming you are right handed).

you maybe focusing too much on "weight shifting" which causes you to unnaturally force the shift and lose balance. instead, try to just think "turn hips" and the weight shift should occur naturally.

Thanks for your advice Hacker. Tried this out on the range today. It was better. Trying to minimizing any 'swaying' and stay pretty much in same position and let the hips do the action.
