You know how Kenny Perry keeps his right foot down all the way through contact and doesn't roll onto his right toe until after the ball is gone? I have the other problem, coming up on that toe too quickly which is throwing me out and over the top. To fix this, my teacher (Donna White, Palm Beach County, FL) is having me hit balls from a side hill lie, ball above my feet. In that position, gravity keeps me more on my heels at impact (just an extra half count) and the result is that I hit great shots, straight as an arrow--even with the long hybrids and fairway woods! I need to keep that feeling of "being grounded" on my right side just a little longer once I get on a level lie/stance but it's difficult for me after so many years of firing my hips and sliding forward too quickly.

Anybody have a suggestion to keep me grounded? Thank.

Do you film it? Where do you hips go? Do they slide laterally down your stance line? Or do they go toward the ball? Keep them away from the ball and slide them down your stance line.
