Hitting Driver of Heel...

What is causing me to hit my driver of the heel? I have backed up to where when I line up the toe of the club is barely reaching the ball. Ball is going straight just losing distance. Just wondering common reasons for hitting it on the heel. Thanks

I was having this same problem earlier and fixed it with the help of my friend. He said that I was dipping forward causing the hit on the heel.

Could be that your arms aren't fully extended at address but are at impact.

Re: Hitting Driver of Heel...

Possibly setting up with too much weight on your heels causing you to lean forward for balance on the downswing. Try setting balance towards middle or even towards the balls of feet to see if this doesn't help. Also you can achieve heel hits by coming too much inside out on the down swing.
