Re: It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

Duffing ... so you're hitting it fat, right? Hitting behind the ball, digging up turf before hitting the ball?

When you do a lot of pump drills and RH drills, you are enhancing your inside path to the ball. Coming from the inside always mean coming in shallow (compared to coming in from the outside, anyway).

If you come in shallow, and have no weight shift, you will have a tendency to hit behind the ball. (I've been doing this exact same thing the last month, since my pro decided to put the ball more forward in my stance to force my weight shift).

Try to make a slow backswing and the start the transition by pushing your hip along the target line towards your left foot before it begins turning.

You will find that it opens up a nice a wide gap for your arms and lagging hands to drop into, keeping that nice and tight inside path to the ball.

As mentioned, I struggled with this problem for a month but it will eventually gel and you will be hitting it ultra-crisp.
