I have a question regarding my swing.

I have a question regarding my swing. I am moving through the 5-step program and I feel that I am making good progress. One of my issues is that I am striking the ball a little fat resulting in a loss of power and low altitude of shots. I know that it is difficult to diagnose my problem without actually seeing my swing, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Bill. A multitude of factors can cause fat. Make sure you are getting good weight transfer/post up without the trail arm taking over too much steeping your attack angle. Take a look at Taking a Divot Video and Angle of Attack Video.
Here comes the best suggestion ever...DON'T hit it fat!!! JK JK Obviously without seeing the swing it's impossible for us to tell you what's causing YOUR fat shots! But you can check on some of the following contributors.... 1. Lead side of the body stacked up with proper secondary axis tilt. 2. Left thumb not pushing the clubhead down in the hitting area 3. Excessive right arm push in the hitting area 4. Poor downswing sequence Those are just some of the common things to look at BUT not even close to all of the things that can contribute to a fat shot.
