Throw in the odd dreadful over the top straight left shot trying to fight the rights and you have a wreck of a golfer.

Tonight I decided I just had to play with a fade and aimed left expecting it to fade and guess what, it goes straight where I aimed it.

Only two balls left so I set up for a fade (as it felt to me) but at the last moment said to myself (hit a sweet draw) and I bombed two perfect shots.

My question is this (and it will be largely answered in tomorrow am's practice session):

Does it soumd like my setup is got completely out of whack? Is what feels open to me, really square? I realise this will be answered tomorrow and also that without pictures/video its an impossible answer.

I guess I'm just venting! I'll hopefully answer my own question tomorrow and post it here. If its still bad I'll get video up.
Bottom line if you ain't drawing it you're path ain't to the right of where the face is looking. I'd say your "over the top pull" is likely a "face pull." Straight pushes would be swing out with the face matching the path . . . . so it sounds like you need to check where the club is "exiting" . . . are you swinging way "low to high" on the thru side? Also . . . check to see if your head is coming "up and away" from the plane line.

That pull is probably due to the face flashing with the path out to the right . . .

Put a video up . . .
