Dead pulls

[Chrisk2771]

For a few months I was hitting the ball straight and long. All of a sudden now I am pulling everything and have no power. The one thing I see is I sometimes close my club face on take away but even when I concentrate on not doing this my shots go hard left.

I find my self messing with my swing more and more just trying to go straight and am really messing up what was a smooth swing.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Dead pulls

Check your alignment. Remember there are 2 lines in the setup. The target line which extends from your ball to the target and your body line which runs parallel to the target line - like railroad tracks. A common mistake, which I am always fighting, is to align my body towards the target line. When this happens, you can have a tendency to pull the ball to try and get it towards your intended target. By the way, when you start correcting this, you body may feel like it is way left of the target. You can check this by laying down 2 clubs parallel to each other when you practice.
