Heel Hits

[jimmyt]

For about a month now out of the clear blue I have started to hit the ball of the heel
Then of course the occasional Housel rockery shows up with short irons.

What are a few things that could be causing the heel hot when it appears everything else
About my swing is the same. I'm l lost trying to fix?

Help please!

Obviously your hands are getting out toward the target line for some reason. I would try to get the hands working lower into impact and up back toward you through impact (going normal). Basically, have the feeling of hands close to you with the club face flung out toward the ball.

This.

If the problem becomes more severe you might look at overall sequencing.

Hit balls with your right thumb completely off the club, no cheating. Report back after, let me know what happens.

When dealing with shanks, I've found two things work best:

(1) The most effective thing is to stand a little farther from the ball

(2) Trying to "swing left" / hit a pull might also really help.
