Swing Issues?

Question

So far this season, Ive been losing alot of of long irons right of the green with a power fade. I have a tendency to get a little flat at the top and I was hoping you guys could give me some tips or drills that will help me keep my swing on plane.

Answer 1

Answer 2

simple if its a fade and not a slice just set up square to target and them turn club to aim just a tad left of target and swing down your first target line and it will staighten out your fade or even give you a draw its that easy  trust me i had a fade that killed me and a bubby just turn the club in my hand so the club face was a litttle closed and bingo I'm now killin him on the course He curses the day he gave me the tip

Answer 3

Ben Hogan had the same problem.

So what if your swing looks flatter at the top?

Two of the best power faders in the last 70 years are Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus.

Hogan had a flat swing and Nicklaus had an upright swing.

I suggest that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with your swing. Many Pros would kill for a power fade.

Essentially at impact your clubface is slightly open

I think you need to tweak it slightly ie hands, set up and ball position.

1) Maybe read Five Lessons - at impact supinate your wrist

2) Close your clubface slightly at set up.

3) Set the ball abit further forward in your stance which means that your club will contact that fraction later which may give you enough time to square your clubface.

Answer 4

There is a test to see if the problem is your swing plane. I suggest you check out the link below to see if this is the issue. The swing test is free and easy to do in the comfort of your own home.

The problem you speak of is due to the clubface being open at the point of impact. This can be caused by many different things, swing plane out of alignment is just one of them. Believe it or not, it could also be your grip.

You should re-examine your swing and see which part of it is not working correctly. Having a partner watch you can help as well. Of course there is always the pro that gives lessons and can tell immediately where your swing is breaking down.

Find the problem area first, then find the drill that will fix it for good.

Answer 5

I would just go to the driving range and try a few things and see if any of them help.

*interlock your grip if you don't already.

*get a draw driver

*try to bring your club face through your target.

*or get a professional lesson.
