You inadvertently setup with the toe off the ground like your mid irons. This points the face left to begin with because shorter irons have more loft. Instead, setup sand wedge with the bottom of the club flat on the ground... you will be closer but shots go straight if this is your problem. 2. You are using your hands at the ball flipping and closing the club face... keep hands passive the whole swing and let your turn hit the ball. 3. Your arms and club pass your body rotation because you stopped your turn too soon. Finish your turn then the club and arms pass. Hi Andy

This move has no benefits and only causes problems. It is pretty hard to hit the middle of the club face when your "Center" is moving all over. In your case you slide to the back, then get "Stuck" because to unwind athletically you need to have more than 50% of your weight on the front foot... so you will need to "slide" back to the front foot before you can even start to turn your hips. The easy out for this is to setup with 60% of your weight on the front foot and keep it there as you windup from top down (Shoulders first) on the backswing, then since your weight is still on the front foot you can just unwind on the downswing... much more powerful and repeatable. Eliminates any sliding that had no benefits to begin with. The feeling you have is a very common issue based on traditional instruction that suggests to “Load up the Back Side” or shift your weight!

This created a lot of power and gave me reasonable consistent. Recently I've become very inconsistent with many snap hooks and a varity of other poor shots.

Your chest is kinda of counter balanced by your butt (so to speak) so you are still centered. If you bend down you can not maintain that angle and many times will hit the ground...

I think this will help me not hit the ground. I am finally getting better at removing my arms from the equation. But during last weeks round I kept hitting the ground. And I think it's because my radius was changing. Thanks! Great Ross! I think this will help me not hit the ground. I am finally getting better at removing my arms from the equation.
