Curing the Pull

Most of the students who come to our school for lessons who are beyond the 
beginners stage and play regularly are plagued with swinging outside the 
intended target line which pulls the ball left of the intended target.

If the clubface is closed at impact the ball will not only start left but will 
curve left.

Both results are caused by the arms and hands beginning the downswing rather 
than being led by the hips moving along the line of play toward the target.

In other words the right leg and foot are stuck on the ground as the downswing 
begins which throws the shoulders, arms and club on the outside of the target 
line.

Shift your hips laterally along the line of flight prior to the arms and 
shoulders moving as the first move on the downswing.
