Hitting the bottom of the clubface

kbarnesie

Guys,

I've been working on my Driving and recently noticed with the help of Impact Tape that I am connecting my Driver Clubface towards the bottom of the clubface rather than the middle.

Some have suggested I might be coming up out of the shot

Any advice or drills

Can you tell us about setup ?
Ball position
Axis tilt
Tee height

I setup with left heel parallel to ball

Tee: High

Axis: I try to have my left shoulder higher than Right

Probably Too steep, hover the club and flatten it out at adress and try swing back on that plane, maybe move back a bit too, and as said above more spine tilt at address.

Won't solve swing faults but might keep you in play and further up the fairway.

Strange ....strike point suggests you are hitting down but your setup is correct for hitting up on the ball. Would you consider yourself an up or down hitter ?

If up then perhaps the ball is too high/too far forward and you are catching it too late in the arc. Try moving the ball back a little towards middle of stance if you are an upward hitter.

Anytime I hit down I hit the top of the face due to the angle of attack.
Hence why you see pop up marks on the top of poorer golfers clubs as they dont sweep/hit up with their woods.

Hitting the bottom would suggest, assuming everything else is correct, the ball is either too far back in the stance or teed too low, as you said in second paragraph.

Are you hanging back when you hit it/ moving too far behind the ball?
This will result in the ball effectively moving back int he stance.
