| Club fitting....
A little background:
I used to play in HS, then gave up the game for about 12 years. It's been about a year now and I have completely changed my swing from what I used to do when I was younger.
They used to teach more of an inside takeaway now the swing I am learning is more upright. As a result I have been seeing a lot of toe heavy divots, something that was not a problem.
Went to Nevada Bob's to get new grips, and decided to check out the club fitting they have available. Turns out that I was only making contact on the swing board with the toe of the club. Tried a club with 5 deg. more upright lie and there you have it....right in the middle. He also wanted me to have a slightly longer club, but I figure one change at a time. This is pretty radical to begin with. But man was I making sweet contact, can't wait to get the hooks back tomorrow, new grips and new lies.
Did you know that when you swing the club not only flexes back but also the toe goes down. Didn't believe it until I saw the slow mo pics. You should be toe up a little at address.
Hope this works for me! |
