| Pulling shots and loss of distance I am concerned in how far I am turning my hips in the downswing. I feel I am turning them far too much, could this be the reason for my constant pull shots and a loss in distance. |

| Re: Pulling shots and loss of distance Check your divots, if they go left from beginning to end, its a pull, which, would mean you are swinging from out to in or the club face is closed at impact. You are probably out of sync and moving way too fast and/or jerking your arms down without completing backswing and allowing natural transition. Also, a pull results from not having your grip so that both hands work together for squaring of the clubface and full release of the clubface. If your divots begin straight and then go left, it means you are closer to being good at impact but may have a closed face from poor grip(too strong) or poor release. The pro's divots do not always go straight and most will be straight at the beginning but curve left because they are swinging around past impact creating clearing of the hips and good release lagging the club behind them. Check grip-it is best if it is neutral Check alignment-either too closed or too open Check downswing path-should be inside to square Try to hit the ball on its lower left side quadrant and no further to the right than middle of the ball. I suspect you are hitting the ball right of center. |
