Over the weekend, I was trying to figure out why I kept pushing many shots right like a lazer beam. My face was square to the target. It even happened with my short irons. I was upset.
However, when I simply drove my fixed impact into the ball in a straight down motion, the ball flew straight until I put it too far back in the stance.
When I teed the ball up for the driver and came down to close to it I produced the dreaded hook. So I teed the ball down (well below the top of the club) beehind my front shoulder and produced a bb on purpose. Even thought the ground was wet, that shot skidded about 20 yards after it hit. About 230 yards.
Did I mention how much fun I am having with this?
Tomorrow, I will hit my drive off the deck and 1/2 inch high. I'll also try to underhand throw/hit it straight up to the moon for yucks! Keep you posted.

I set up with a slightly closed club face and bend the plane line to the right, giving me a draw flight. If I want to hit a fade, I set up with a square face and on a straight plane line.
