Stupid question I know but does anyone have any swing thoughts to guarantee contact nearer the toe side of the club

Been playing great for the last few months but the last couple of rounds I can feel the strike heading nearer the heel side of the club face with a few sh**ks thrown in

The problem I have is I don't feel like I am doing anything g different when clearly I am.

Any swing thoughts or drills to get toe side hits would be appreciated
 
Ye to be honest I think my weight shifting forwards in the downswing is a major part of it

I had a bit more success this morning keeping all my concentration on keeping my weight back and the bottom half of my body still but still wasn't totally happy with the strikes
 
When I struggled with them 2 years ago, it was because I was putting the my weight on my toes on my downswing.

Ironically I now suffer from toe strikes

Are you now concentrating on keeping your weight back and that's what causing the toe strikes now?
 
I know it sounds contradictory but practice with your lead foot toes raised.

Place your foot as normal, then just lift your toes only, don't raise your foot at all.

This helps with balance at impact and help you know where the right amount of "toe" is

Thanks will definitely give that a go
