One of the causes of this is an inaccuracy in your swing. What you could be doing here is bringing the club slightly to the outside as you swing back and therefore the corresponding motion in your downswing is causing the club back down along that outside path therefore hitting the ball with the heel of the club. What you could do here is either slow your swing down and try and regroove it properly, or at address have the ball set up inline with the toe, this will cause you to hit the middle of the club even if you bring your swing to the outside. This is a simple fix which even some PGA Tour pros use.

Most of the problems are the driver stays on gas when hitting brake peddle. They are at the correct height and I have done this many times. You must move foot straight over and not twist foot leaving heel in place. This sets you up to hit both at once. try it sometime.


Should i adjust my lie angle on my club?

Basically depending on how low or high your hands are at address, this may cause either the toe or the heel of the club to be up in the air. If the toe is in the air you should have them flattened, and if the heel is in the air you should have them bent upright, you would probably need to get custom fit to see by how much, typically .25-3 degrees is normal.


What is the proper positioning of lead Tape on driver head in golf?

If you want your driver to draw more, you place the tape on the heel of the club. This will help the clubhead close more around its axis. If you want the driver to fade more, you place it on the toe. This will cause the toe of the club to close later in the swing, and remain open on impact. To hit it higher place it on the bottom of the driver. This lowers the center of gravity of the club and the ball will come off the clubface with a much higher trajectory. To hit it lower place it on top. If you want to just add swingweight to the club, place it on the back, just behind the sweetspot.

What is a heel spur and how does it affect you?

Heel spurs are calcium build-ups in the heel that cause a small knot or ball of bone. They collect in the muscle tissue of the heel and can cause extreme pain. While surgery is an option in severe cases, most doctors recommend pain medication and rest as well as different shoes. The duration of the heel spur is different for every case.


What is the cause of hitting your irons off the heel of the club?

I'm assuming that you're refering to the area where the face of the club and the shaft meet. If this is the case, there could be any number of causes. You could be over extending your backswing, causing your stroke to come off balance, and therefore offsetting the line of your stroke (think a pendulum that is pushed/pulled in one direction... it over swings in the other direction to compensate). Alternately, the cause could be that during your backswing, you don't rotate the club, which causes the face to close during you swing. One of the easiest fixes for any golf problem is to be sure you remind yourself to point the toe of the club up as you swing. It should be about perpendicular (90*) to the ground by the time it's hip level. There are a number of reasons you may be hitting with the heel. But the most common I would think would be clubs that are not fitted. Are you shorter then 5'8"? It may be that the off the rack clubs most players have are not adjusted to your body type. An adjustment of your clubs lie angle more flat would help a great deal.
