I noticed on the course the other day and then at the range that I tend to pull my irons a bit. Ending up left of the green far more than I’d like. 

Just wondering which of the 5 keys would I need to work on to correct this? Is it a weight forward issue?

Is it linked to any of the 5 keys at all?

Keys 4 and 5.

Which might be (though rarely is, because most people aim way right) a matter of alignment.

You don't seem to have a Member Swing topic…?

I don’t think it’s an alignment issue. No I don’t have a member swing thread. I go to the range on my own and I don’t know about asking someone to video my swing during a round.

You can record your own swing.

But yeah… keys 4 and 5. Path and face.

The first three deal primarily with quality of contact.

Ball flight tells the story. My issue was 1) alignment and 2) ball to far forward at address. I also may come over the top every once in awhile, esp. when I swing hard, out of tempo or when I am too close too the ball, for me. Best, -Marv.

I seem to have this problem when I let the ball creep forward combined with  minimal shoulder rotation on the backswing.

Just an older guy with 7 or 8  clubs and a MacKenzie Walker bag
