If you're pulling the ball really bad, one thing that has helped me over the years is to square up your forearm that is facing the same direction of your club face. Keep that forearm and the club face going the same direction at the same angle. Helps keep the ball straight.
So do this through the takeaway, back/up swing, down swing to impact? I think I know what you mean, definitely will try to focus on this next range sesh.
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I've also discovered that what I thought was my limited range of my shoulders/upper body rotating on the downswing - causing me to "Scoop" or get really handsy, was actually because my left shoulder/rotator is really in bad shape. I can't "extend" my left arm out after impact- immediately folding my arm up.
As ckalinec said, it's hard to convey with just words. I don't know if this is just the normal part of growing pains, but I can't stop messing with it lol!
I know it's all related but I feel like my bad scores typically are not due to the drives and 2nd shots. I'm decent at scrambling and 9- 6 irons are ok distance wise.
But short game can be horrendous. Not the chips but putting: 3 putt alot. Sometimes 4 putt multiple times a round
Most par 4s and 5s I'm on for bird or par, and end up with the 3/4 putts
