I noticed some of my drives haven't quite felt solid. I bought some foot spray and noticed I'm hitting it towards the heel. Crazy thing is im still getting really good distance, but the ball tends to fade a little more than I want. I play a power fade off the tee or a knucklefade. Whatever you prefer to call it. What could I be doing to cause this?

Is this a driver only error? If it were my impact pattern on the driver only I would address the ball about 1/2 a golf ball more away, lining up my aim line with the edge of the golf ball closest to my toes. Whether this is a quick fix or has something to do with your swing I'd defer that answer to someone with more experience.

I think i may be a little to much on my toes at impact and its causing my path to move to the right.

I've been working on my weight shift and if I lose balance I tend to fall forward towards my toes. I've been drilling my balance with the "toes up drill". It's helped me balance through finish, hopefully it can do that for you and bring your weight back towards your heels.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
