My Swing (golfaddiction)

[golfaddiction]

I've been Playing Golf for: 17 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 15.8

My typical ball flight is: High fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: PULL!!!

I've been doing some work on my swing lately and am pretty pleased how it looks.  Unfortunately, I'm pulling everything.  I hit straight pulls, pull-fades (that work out nicely), or pull-slices, depending on how my clubhead is at impact.

Does anyone have any suggestions for helping with this?

Looks from this angle like your swing plane is pointed left the whole way. You take the club back a little outside the target line and deliver it to the ball moving across the target line from out-to-in.

In order to stop the ball from moving left-to-right, you've got to get that swing plane pointed more to the right. It may feel to you like you're swinging out toward right field. Some of the great teachers on this site may have better advice, but I'd start by feeling like your hands are moving "deeper" behind you on your backswing and that you begin your downswing by letting your arms fall (before turning your body). Another feel that might work is holding your back toward the target longer in the downswing.

Keep in mind that feel isn't always real! Gotta find what works for you!

Hey thanks for the comment.  You are right - I didn't even realize I was taking the club back on the outside-in plane.  Guess that's why I was so vexed; the swing stays on plane the whole time.  It's just not the proper plane :-)
