Imagine your eyes as pointing straight at the ball, your face square to the ball on its own inclined plane . A straight on gaze at the ball. As you turn through the shot keep the same "eye plane " so to speak with your head. Turn your head on the same eye plane . Letting your eyes come up through finish in a parallel to the ground fashion makes you come out of your posture prematurely . Try to come up with a diagonal gaze , an inclined plane to your skull line , eyes as you follow your shot. In so doing , yes your motion will seem tighter , smaller which is as it should be. This is a pivot fix , Zone 1, job 1.

Drills for lag and drag from impact fix? Try the Melhourne continuos swinging , striking of a line of balls thing. Make sure to brush the grass in both directions . Brush , brush , brush , brush etc. The ball just gets in the way .. The intention is to brush ...... not hit at the ball, brush the grass. Research it on this site and maybe check out Bobby Shave on line.

I guarantee that if you had a lesson with Lynn he would get you doing this. Its golfs motion , lag and drag in both directions , alignments borne of continuous motion . Homer said that Lag was golfs secret .... this is the type of lag he was referring to .... lag pressure , lag and drag as opposed to common speak lag , left wrist cock. The body leads the arms, the arms lead the club, the hands lead the club head... at every point there is a lagging component .. with an associated drag creating lag pressure.

Lynn said to me once, after years of get togethers ..... just "lag boy lag" . Makes it sound simple doesn't it. Thing is few ever feel it. But Rory and Dufner to my eye have it in spades... Hogan of course too . Hogan was in Homers words
"the ideal " in regard to start down sequence , swinging , lag and drag in both directions.

In regard to putting and your "eye line" , "skull line "...... set up to a putt and close your left eye. If you cant see the path to the hole with your right eye because your nose blocks its view , you dont have stereoscopic vision . To fix this lower your chin or get a nose job .

Thanks for the help a few weeks back.

The head postion paid $$$ dividends with the putter, so much so my regular foursome have all pulled me aside and mention how great I'm putting.

My ball comtrol has left a lot to be desired lately and I'm hoping for some help.

Irons:
1-Every shot is blocked/ starts right of target line to some degree
2-I hitt everything longer than and 9 iron fat yet my divots are shallow except when I slide way a headed of it and then ill catch ball first. When I get a headed of it it's either a rocket push that flies a club longer than desired or ill hand the blade open and push cutt it.

Hybrids, 3wd, driver
1- pop ups, sky balls and stupid marks
2- drives that do get hit on the center of the face are right going right
This is the most demoralizing part of my game I'm 4 handicap struggling to break 80 b/c I can't find fairways and then when I punch back in play I'm missing the green.
