Bernie, et al, I think you hit it on the head Bernie. I tried moving it back to the middle of my stance with no luck. The hits are all centered, just on the bottom third of the head, so I believe the lie angle is not the problem. So I concentrated on a straight and higher swing plane and did fairly well at play today. I can't judge anything by today because my timing and concentration was completely off. I was playing with a heavy cold, and on medication, so I was lucky to just break even on my bets. I've gotten so used to a long and flatter take away, playing with the longer clubs, that the shorter length just had me bamboozled. I went a little shorter hoping for more control. Of course today, I was struggling to get any kind of control over anything :-(
