Hitting on the toe

[AllyLodge]

Have been noticing that the Impact Mark of my irons and woods are on the toe. I'm not sure if this is correct but does this lead to shots to the right ? Because that happened a couple of times recently last round

Anyone have any drills/solutions to stop this ? (bob )

Hitting out of the toe, will tend to hook the ball. Out of the heel=slice.

If I toe the ball it goes right and looses a lot of distance and I know ive toe'd it because I keep my clubs very clean and can see the point of impact mark on the face and (or) toe from most shots.

Yep, that's what's been happening to me recently.
Anyone got any drills to fix this ?

Stand closer ha ha

It happens to me probably twice a round and more often than not its normally on one of the par 3 tee shots, I get set up perfectly then at the last instance ill shuffle back a touch and smack "Ive toe'd it, why did I step back" LOL

Ha should have thought of that !
Had a problem of standing too close to it which is why it's a bit of a suprise.

Still, will stand a bit closer to the ball tomorrow. If I sh*nk it, it's on you

If you are stood too close, a natural reaction of your body on the down swing through the impact area can then be an involuntary action to move away from the ball. Hence, contact with the ball on the toe of your club.
