Morning Gents,
I have finally identified the true cause of my miss (slice off the tee / fat iron hit (not chunk)).
All season I have been struggling with the occasional slice and hitting my irons fat causing me to end up short of greens or short of pin placements causing me to get up and down or lag putt way more than I'd like to.
My chipping / pitching to get up and down has really benefited from my miss but now its time to shake this thing!
I've noticed this primarily happens on the back 9, I'm guessing because my body is slightly more tired and I subconsciously try to get away with this maybe? I have no idea really this is just speculation.
So what is it? Well, I believe my miss is due to improper weight shift, which would account for the occasional slice off the tee (to much weight being left on the back foot causing me to hit up with a more open face) as well as the occasional fat hit iron again to much weight on the back foot causing a fat hit.
Has anyone else struggled with this? I feel if I can correct this flaw and get rid of these occasional mis-hits from this I'll be able to drop a few strokes per round and maybe get a little closer to breaking 80.
Any tips or drills are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Cap
