I've been working hard on path correction via NSA 2.0.
I still go to the range, or start a round and I have to concentrate, or should I say consciously emphasize the idea of letting the club drop down, then turning my shoulders later in the swing... this is at the beginning of all my rounds lately.
The past 5 or so rounds I notice I go from a slight fade at the beginning, to a moderate to severe PULL later in the round (driver/woods). Irons will end up getting hit in the toe. Has anyone else had this happen???
I'm looking frantically for the answer, and I read somewhere that toe hits are often a symptom of coming inside too much and not releasing the body enough!
Wow. And that this mechanical problem will often cause pull hooks, and sometimes (with toe hits) push fades.
So if this is true, this would mean I go full circle in a round. I start the round thinking, 'Don't come over the top' to hitting the ball too inside and not finishing the swing enough. (In fact I enforce my left arm to take control of the downswing so I don't use my right side to come over the top.)
The recommendation I read about to fix this is to engage my shoulders a little earlier in the strike zone, and to make sure I feel like my club is finishing more 'left' than 'right' of my body after impact.
I was shocked to read that coming inside might be my problem as I've fought coming over the top for a year. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Does this sound like a plausible explanation for what's happening to me halfway through a round?
