Divot points at target but ball goes right

[oakey22]

I have been noticing my iron shots going right of where I am aiming, the divot points to where I was aiming but the ball heads right.

Am I right in thinking I am coming from inside- outside and this is causing it?

If so how can I solve this?

Thanks
Ian

Hang on, is the divot pointing where you were aiming (ie the target or is it pointing to the left, cos you've said both here...

The divot goes where I am aiming but my ball goes to the right of target

So your divots point at the target then?

Yeh, lol but my ball goes right 10-15 yards from the target.

Re: Divot points to the left

does the ball fly straight right or does the flight have some shape to it?

Re: Divot points to the left

It seems to start straight then slowly go the right.

Well imo (and bob may be along to pick fault with me soon) it sounds as though you are actually swinging a little out-to-in that is creating the left to right spin sending the ball to the right

Re: Divot points to the left

I would say if your divot is straight, so is your swing path. I'd guess the clubface is open a touch which gives it the little left to right spin. How's your grip?

Re: Divot points to the left

My grip is on the strong side to neutral I think, well my left hand is anyway. I have been adjusting my grip for a while now, it was weak at one point and I kept slicing it. And I also I noticed that I was letting my right arm chicken wing out on my driving on the downswing so now keep my right elbow close to my chest on the downswing which has stopped my slice and hit some of my furthest drives.

See I knew he would!

Re: Divot points to the left

Could be not gripping at the correctangle, your wrist is and left hand are comming back to there neutral position and twisting the club face open.
Might need a look at your grip position.

Re: Divot points to the left
