So painfully true! (I'm actually a doctor, I tell my patients that all the time!) I know I'm undercutting with my right hand, I can feel it. I just cant mentally fix it; it's almost like I can't consciously think of my right hand and what it's doing. I don't know how to get control of it. I think my start line is off too; I'm swing the club towards my left. For the first 50 yards of flight, my ball is actually pretty straight. (starts to slice thereafter). I took a less once from a guy who taught me to change my grip to this: grab the club with the head angled 45 degrees, then twist my wrist to make the club face square at address (essentially my palm is facing out (see pics below). It worked to some degree (but if I overdo it, I hook it). Thoughts?

I'm undercutting with my right (rear) hand, resulting in a slice. (swinging it like a baseball bat!) I know this is a common mistake, and I know you want your right hand (right palm) to be square at impact (I think it's been said that your right hand mirrors the club face: undercut it, and you slice, overturn it, you get a hook, you want the palm to be square at impact). I'm just not sure how to do this. Where in my swing should I be consciously thinking about my right hand, trying to square up the palm at impact?

Thanks, I think I might be in the same camp.

That's what I originally thought, which is why I was confused as for what to do next. I've tried choking down an inch on my longer clubs, but my wrists don't respond well (probably b/c I have a strong grip).

Then maybe I'm having a length issue? I haven't played much with hybrids, maybe that's a good option. old Ping game improvement clubs, G20. I definitely need a new set! Yeah, I feel the same way, especially in my back swing. I try to compensate for it by lifting the club higher, but then I lose my form as I'm bringing it down. So did you switch to graphite permanently? My only hesitation in doing this, is that I like the 'feel' of steel, especially for 7 and higher, and I don't want to lose that. What do you think about single length clubs, or maybe just reducing the length on my 6,5,4, to equal that of my 7?

Hello, I'm a double digit handicap. A Bogey kind a guy on most holes. I'm fairly decent with my short irons. My distance with my 7-iron (standard length) is anywhere from 160-175 yds. But as soon as I pick up my longer irons (6, 5, or 4), my swing falls apart. I'm not sure if it's the extra length---I'm ok with my driver (250-280 yards)----or if it's the added weight of those irons, or maybe a combination of the two. I feel like I have some difficulty in raising the club and generative good speed, which makes me think its the extra weight of the club that's hindering me. Solutions? I was thinking of switching to graphite clubs (but I do like the feel of steel, especially in my short irons). Get fitted? (I am in the marked for a new set of clubs. possible to just reduce the lengths of my 6, 5 and 4?) Workout and build more body mass?! I should be doing that. Thanks in advance for any advice.
