Club Face Position

[CameronStewart]

Hey all, got quite a complicated question.

Basically at the top of my swing my club face is closed (club pointing to the sky). This means I usually hit a very high shot. How do I correct this? My wrist is in a good position (straight) but the clubface is still closed. Anyone have any drills to correc this? Thanks.

If the clubface has closed down, you would expect to see a low left shot. Do your divots point left?

Yea. Basically this is my issue. But i seem to have this issue with a straight wrist position.

Welcome to the forum Cameron.

The wrist doesn't look straight to me. If the back of your hand followed the line of your arm, the club face would be at around the same angle as your arm.

P.S. Listen to Bob over me.

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome.

In that picture of Dustin Johnson I understand his wrist is very over-flexed. However when I freeze my swing at the top my wrist is straight but my club face is closed liked his.

If your wrist is flat and the c/face is closed, your grip must be too strong and if your divots are left that would suggest you may be coming in to the ball a little out to in but holding off the clubface. This would cause the high weak shot.

I think my grip is A-Okay but I think you're spot on with the out to in swing. Think I pull my shoulders across rather than turning my hips through. Do you have any drills or ideas on how to sort this?

Welcome Cameron. As has been said. "Bobs your man".
