I played a round yesterday after a month long hiatus. The round went fairly well, and I managed to par the toughest hole on the course! Anyway, I struggle with consistent ball striking especially with my irons. I was with my uncle, who's basically a scratch shooter, and he pointed out a few things with my swing.
At address, he was telling me I need to have forwards press/shaft lean (I'm a rightie btw). I normally have the butt of the club pointed towards my naval... this is for all of my clubs with the exception to my driver. He also noticed that my right leg has a tendency to straighten out at the top of my backswing. He says this is one of the reasons why I was pushing the ball right.
After the round was over we spent a little time on the course at a few empty holes and he was giving me pointers to help correct what he saw were my swing issues. With the forward press/shaft lean I didn't feel like I was really compressing the ball and my contact wasn't the flush. And trying to keep my left leg flexed at the top of my backswing just felt weird. Anyway, just wanted to hear your thoughts/feedback. Next time I'll ask someone to take some pics when I'm at the range.
Thanks!
