Hello,
I started golfing a year ago and have a couple questions about lie angle. I'm hunch over at address (which is uncomfortable), but it's the only way I can get the club to the ground. I have a slight over-the-top movement at the top of the swing which get my swing off plane (take-away is on plane). I don't have any issues hitting it straight (the tendency is a hook vs. slice), because slightly prior to impact my club finds its way back on plane.
I would guess many players don't have a correct fitting, but "figure out a way" to hit it straight. Question - could my lie angle (too flat) cause the hunch over at address and increase the slight over-the-top movement, so I'm able to hit it straight?? Early last season I injured my left hand (rightly) but continued playing (one-handed) and took lessons. At step-up my posture was comfortable (more upright) and swing was perfectly on plane and other than having a tendency off hitting off the toe, I hit the ball straight. Technically speaking, I have a better swing one-handed than two.
I have a lesson on Tuesday, but want to run this question past you boys/girls first!
I appreciate anyone's thoughts
