I had a rather distressing range session on Saturday, about which I think I have diagnosed a cure, but would like consensus. I probably hit close to 100 balls almost exactly 1 ball diameter toward the hosel from the sweetspot of the club face. This miracle of a modern repeating stroke occurred with both a 9I and 6I. I am trying to hit, but won't say I am doing a great job of it. I also am pretty good about setting up with the ball positioned toward the toe.

After thinking about it overnight I decided that my aiming point, given the changes I have been trying to employ, needs to be well inside (toward my feet) the back of the ball in order to make contact on the sweetspot of the face.

1) Does this sound like a reasonable solution?

2) Is it trial and error to determine exactly how far inside the back of the ball to aim in order to hit the club face sweetspot?

3) Are there other approaches to solving the problem?

As always your responses are appreciated. Thanks.

Failure to clear the right hip is one (5-0). Read also, 2-F (middle of the page). Be sure the shaft rotates around the sweetspot and not vice-versa. Throw away any feelings of shaft plane.
