[secret]

hi guys!just wondering if you could help me with my problem.i sometimes lean forward towards the ball in th backswing and sometimes also in the downswing.what is/are the causes of this and how do you correct it?thanks

Just as an exercise, try setting up with more weight on your heels for your practice swings (push your butt out!!..)..
Sounds like your center of gravity is too far forward....

Make sure you are not standing too far from the ball, that obviously will make you lean forward.

Also, when you know you are the right distance from the ball, stick your butt back away from the ball. This will counterbalance you and give you plenty of room to swing through.

As a general rule, you are roughly the right distance from the ball if you stick a tee peg in the end of your grip and hang a small weight off it on a piece of string.
At address the weight should hang directly above your toes..
