It's been a long time since I've swung a club, but I've started again in an effort to introduce my 8yr old to the game.
We were hitting the practice "wiffle" balls in the yard this weekend, and I noticed that almost every shot I took went about 20 degrees to the right (I am right-handed).
Doing a little research on the interwebs and it seems that I am pushing the ball, caused by my hips moving forward during the swing - which is opening up the club face. I guess I'm swinging the club with the same hip motion I use swinging a softball bat....
If I focused on not pushing forward with my hips and just rotating them, the ball would go where where I was aiming.
So my question is: are there any drills I can do to help me in grain some muscle memory to keep my hips in place? For other folks here who have had the same swing issues, what helped you overcome it?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm sure this is the only thing wrong with my swing, but this seems like the biggest one at the moment.
Thanks.
