So I have had a bit of an issue in my swing lately that I believe I found the cause of. I think I'm standing too far away from the ball. I've been hitting a lot of toe shots recently so I spent some time analyzing my swing in slo motion in my back yard. I'm noticing that when I swing and deliver the club back to the ball that my wrist angle is more extended from my arms and leading the club through my swing more upright than my set up position and striking out towards the toe.
It seems that if I set up a little closer and stand a touch more upright that I can then swing back through following the same path I set up from. Is there anything specific that others look for in their set up to make sure they aren't standing too far or too close to the ball? Do you make sure the sole is flat on the ground when you address the ball? As I look back my toe was point a bit upwards and I wasn't placing the club into the ground level with my set up but I was doing so in my actual swing.
