I may be misunderstanding this matter (so correct me if I'm wrong), but if the ball is starting left due to a closed club-face only, shouldn't the divot still be pointing straight along the target line? Due to all my divots pointing left of the target line on my misses, I just assumed it was a path/plane issue. I generally hit pull hooks but occasionally hit pull slices as well. That makes perfect sense, thank you. Should I research the D-Plane more (if this is what you're referring to)? I will try to get some more video (with face-on and down-the-line angles) uploaded tonight. I agree in regards to the pivot. However, I don't know how to execute it correctly. I have tried the drills in "Alignment Golf" but it hasn't worked for me. This was my downfall whilst trying "Stack and Tilt" as well, as I was unable to slide my hips laterally. I will look into it, thanks. This has been my main effort (consciously swinging in-to-out) since I am unable to execute the pivot correctly. At times it feels like I am swinging out 45 degrees. However, would this be considered a compensation or is it a feeling that is making me perform the mechanics correctly? I'll also look in this, thanks. "Impact Fix" confuses me slightly. Is it just to create a feeling of impact before playing the shot or is there more to it? Hard to say with just the divot could depend on ball position as well in respect to low point. you certainly can research d-plane and trackman too . . . . but just think of the face angle magnet thingie . . . the ball is generally going to start where that thing is pointing. So if your balls are starting left it's because the face is looking over there . . . could be due to it just plain being looking there or because it's rotating too fast. Mike says you are over . . . . not sure how you can tell that from face on . . . . but you could be a reckon. Put the DTL up. You do some nice stuff. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
