Re: Right heel not coming off ground at impact

I appreciate your help guys. Maybe I should explain further.

I am about a 3 handicap and am trying to get rid of the last few strokes through minimizing the funny moves in my swing.

I have a good action and get good distance for my size (which is 5'9 155lbs) but I have two glaring flaws in my swing.

One of them is that my right foot does not fully get off the ground until after impact.

The second is that I tend to "swing left" through impact, which creates a slighly stuck position at impact for me. Not stuck in the Tiger sense where the club lags behind too much, but stuck in the sense that I am not reaching that position at impact with both arms fully extended, which is what I want. As a result, my swing looks more like a Vijay/Sergio type move than a classic Tiger/Trevor Immelman type move.

I am actually more concerned about the second problem than the foot. I was hoping you would have some help on that, but maybe the two go together. I have seen many instructors who could not solve these problems. This is likely because I do have a good path through impact, and I hit a nice draw most of the time.

However, to take my game to the next level I need to work these things out. Because I have good timing at impact, most of the time things are ok. However, when it is off my ballstriking is inconsistent. Any advice would be great!
