you know how many people have told me this... I still cant fix it, especially when Im not focusing on it... When I set up to the shot, that is naturaly what my body does. any ideas to fix?

That is a 7 iron, and I would have my ball position in the middle of my stance.

Thanks for replying.

I'd like to see face on view. Looks a little "lean right" at the top. The compensation to this is a little back up to find the plane followed by some leg sag to catch the flip. Try staying on top of that front foot in your transition and see what the flight does and go from there. I see this alot with good players.

It's amazing what will happen with a ball and a target in the distance. No way to tell what you're doing without those things. Practice swings are always better looking because they have no intention.

Ill get a face on this weekend I hope, I am going to bring my camera with and take some video during my round.

I think I do have forward, or right lean at the top, Im trying to work on that...
What do you mean by "staying on the top of that front foot in your transition" explain exactly how to achieve this for me.

Thanks for the tips.

Brian refers to it as hovering. You don't want to correct a mistake with another mistake if you can help it. Keep your current backswing, increase the weight (fall) on your lead foot in the transition, then spring out of there. You might hit it real steep or maybe a pull. Then it might inspire you to get some proper tilts on the backswing (i.e., spine lean away from target, flatter turn)
