I do hit, and I know that most hitters use a fix address with their right forearm on plane to help maintain the RFFW, but I am much more comfortable with the classic address. I experimented with both when I started hitting and I have had much better luck with the classic address. The very first move back in my motion is me setting my right forearm on plane, which I do pretty consistently. After reading your first comments I went back and watched both videos and I think I make a pretty big sway towards the target with my irons, but not nearly as much of one with my driver. Which may explain why I do take deep divots pretty frequently like you guessed. Let's see if we can't lick these faults. I'm all in with ya' to fix this stuff.

Ok boss . . . The reason I asked is this . . . I want you to take the same grip you take everday . . . look down . . . what is keeping you from seeing the grip cap? Look at address and fix? In my case it is my left forearm/wrist which means . . . your wrist ain't vertical at Fix. So try this . . . get your left hand on the club so you can see the cap at fix . . . that should be vertical.

Now you don't have to change your grip if it is turned to the plane but you do need to understand how to release it properly.

If you are turned and you want to stay that way . . . read this thread . . . particularly the quotes from Yoda about hammering the wall.
