PROBLEM: On wood shots,the heel of the club, rather than the club face, makes contact with the ball, resulting in a miserable-looking ground ball to the extreme left.
This can result from your weight being too far forward at impact.
Try to keep weight more on your heels.
Make sure you are not standing too close to the ball.
Extend arms fully at address. This will help make sure that the clubface arrives in the proper alignment at impact.
Heel shots, scoobies, go rights, or the dreaded “S” word are caused by one thing — “coming over the top.” Coming over the top or swinging across your downward swingpath is perhaps the most common swing fault in golf. The path or arc of the golf swing should be circular (about 45 degrees) on the backswing and a little less circular (about 43 degrees) on the downswing. That variance in plane is called swinging inside. A great cure for coming over the top is to let your right shoulder (for R/H players) come UNDERNEATH your chin on your downswing. You may also feel that you are hitting the ball (in baseball terms) to right field. Dropping your right shoulder will free up the club to extend out toward your target and eliminate the possibility of Mr. Scoobie!
