I have recently developed my swing to the point that I am taking a divot rather than sweeping the ball with my irons. In doing this I feel I am hitting better shots, especially with the short irons, but a problem I am having is hitting the ball fat more often. Sometimes badly. I was working on this at the driving range yesterday and one thing that seemed to help was the use a stronger left arm when swinging. This did not completely solve the problem. I then checked my set up in relationship to the ball to my body by using the drill where you hold the your hands out in front of you with the club pointing straight up and then natrually dropping the arms and club to the ground. I noticed then that I was standing farther from the ball. Would standing too close the ball cause more fat shots. Just want to know if I am on the right track. It seemed to help.
