Mike, I just took a lesson from a good pro who immediately determined that
my setup/grip was causing most of my problems. He showed me on the face of
my club that contact was happening toward the toe, and that the lines of
dirt on my clubface were not parallel to the score lines. Cause: I was
holding my wrists too high at address (i.e., too much angle between arm and
hand), and also not in front of the clubhead. By correcting this (i.e.,
getting the ***of the grip closer to the ground and my hands foreward,
more in line with my arm pit, and leading the clubhead thru impact), better
contact immediately started happening nearer the sweet spot and the dirt
lines were parallel to the lines on the clubface. Hope this makes some
sense to you.
