New problem?

[shortgamer]

Okay, I watched flipper and loved it and I'm now hitting my clubs even longer and more solid. Gained a solid 15 yards with my driver on the first day but now for the second day. I pulling my irons and hitting fades or even slices with my driver. With my irons ball starts a little left and stays there which tells me I'm swinging a little outside in. I think this is because of my new float loading?I'm so freakin eager to start my downswing with that lag that I think I'm starting with the shoulders. Any ideas? Am I on the right track or is there something else I should be looking into? Do you start that hip bump before the way down or at the same time?

Shortgamer, anytime I start hitting the ball left, I cure my problem by focusing on the right shoulder moving down the plane. And, be careful with axis tilt. You need it, but you still need to rotate through the ball. Works for me, might want to give it a try....

once a flipper learns to get rid of his flip the next place they usually have to go is to learn how to fix the clubface. Before when you flipped you had a way to close the face (by flipping it.) Now you have a much more open face coming into the ball and are hitting it right. So you instinctly are trying to start it more left because the face is so open.

You need to learn how to swivel through the ball and get to what brian calls "wedding ring up." Read his article "Never slice again" and read especially the "perfect pivot article."

You'd also benefit from the "right shoulder on plane video answer" as well.

Plated yesterday and finally figured it out on 17. I could not figure out why my clubface was closed even though I wasn't flipping(divots were past ball-ball off left foot)Come to find out I was rolling my left forearm way early and it was throwing the club way above plane comming down and sweeping across it with the closed face. I remember one of Lynn's videos were he pretended to throw a arrow at the ball with the right forefinger and thumb and that did it. I just need to keep that left wrist on plane untill the end. Does anybody else fight their swing like me? It's like every day there's a new bad habit for me. I just hope these bad habits start to get smaller and smaller.

I'm convinced that once you commit to golf, you've accepted the fact that you spend whatever time you have left on this earth losing and finding your golf swing.

It's this persistent/required effort that evenually runs most people away from the game.

I love the game and I'm too darn stubborn to let it always get the best of me.

I could not agree more.

It's haunting.
