How to stop hitting on the inside of the face?

I know this seems like a simple fix, but I've tried everything, and I'm still hitting the ball way on the inside of the face. Anyone have any quick fixes that might get me back to hitting on the center of the club? This is driving me nuts.

take it inside of face = the heel of the club,the only thing i can think of is to check you are not swaying forward on downswing as this would move heel of club nearer to ball than it was at address,also watch that your arms are not extendind outwards on downswing taking the club further out thus resulting in heel of club nearer to ball

Here's a great drill. Put two balls next to each other, one in your normal adress position, and one a little further out (about 1.5"). Adress the further out one, but hit the closer one. It gives you the feeling of keeping the club closer to your body coming through. If you're like me, you'll find you hit the ball more sweetly doing it like this, and after practising this way for a while, you should be able to go back and hit it the normal way.

A common cause of being too far out at impact is not folding the left arm coming through. Make sure it folds naturally and stays close to your side at impact.

That 2 ball drill sounds good. I'll try that for sure...hopefully tonight. I've had this inside hitting problem ever since I had a case of the sh**ks a few weeks ago. I'll give it a try and let you know how it works. Thanks.

I occationally get this and find its either:

Weight was too much on heels at setup, then returning to balls of feet puts club too far out. or

Coming over the top.
