Chunked Wedges to the left…INSTANT CURE
If you can not figure out how to stop chunking your wedge shots to the left and you have tried all of the golf pitching tips in the magazines, I have a lesson for you that will work.
When you hit a really fat pitch shot off to the left there are a few things that happened before and during the swing. Today we are going to discuss the things that took place before you even swung the club back. Your problem began with the address position. When you hit a chunked pitch shot the golf club swung too much from outside to inside in the downswing.
One of the main reasons the club swung too much from the outside is because the golf ball was too far forward in your stance at address. When you place the ball too far out in front of you (across from your left foot), the club head has to swing outside the arc to find the ball. When it swings too far outside the arc the angle is too steep and you wind up swinging the club head straight into the ground.
For the next couple of weeks I want you to try something a little different, I want you to address the golf ball further back in your stance. Try moving it back to the center of your stance for starters.
A couple of things are going to happen when you move the ball back. Number one the clubhead is going to begin to find the correct path, secondly you will begin making ball/turf contact. The golf ball will fly higher and towards the target. No more chunks to the left.
