hi Bobby,

I have been practicing your how to draw DVDI am having trouble squaring the clubface at impact. I have moved my left have to a stronger grip but this is feeling like it is too strong. I also have a problem with pulling the club down (handle towards the ball) which i think is part of the problem of not getting my clubface square at impact. When i strenghten my right arm I tend to shank balls to the right. If I hold my clubface extremely closed at address I get a solid impact but if i go back to aiming right I am having a very difficult time. Any suggestions? Sometimes I play a round and I feel very good and then the next time I feel like i have no clue what i am doing even though I feel like the swing is exactly the same with opposite results. Please advice.

Let's start over. The face has to be square at address. What about grip pressure.

What I think is the one thing you are missing is the path in the downswing. Are you divots going to the left? Let me know.

for the most part my divots go to the left

#1 place two clubs on the ground parallel to each
#2 one club is to point at the target and the other is parallel, your feet line.
#3 your feet, knees, hips and SHOULDERS must be on the line near your feet.
#4 the reason I capitalized shoulders is your shoulders must be parallel and NOT aiming left of the target.
#5 the shoulders should be parallel or even slightly right of target, if your divots are going left.
#6 let me know is this helped.
