Hi gallaghersc,

Your question is very open. How do you know you are not on the right swing plane?

Regards,

because when i stop at top and flaten club and come down i get a good hit and when do normal swing i dont get the same hit

When you misshit your 9 iron can you tell me what the ball does, hook, pull, thin, fat etc.

hi bobby i dont get much distance and a bit of a push to the right

#1 make sure you can see two or three knuckles of the left hand at address
#2 straighten out the right arm in the downswing EARLY
#3 roll the right hand over the left during the downswing.

May I add, make sure you are not squezing the grip too hard (or hard at all). A lot of grip pressure will prevent the clubface from turning over. Like Bobby indicates in all he's DVD's: "grip the club like you are holding a baby's hand".

Bests,

[gallaghersc]

ok will try that thanks
