     This really should not be problem. Fat shots are very easy to fix. Just keep working on the getting the right heel of the ground through impact. Make the lower body your first thought to start the downswing and you should be just fine.

   i notice in your swing you roll over onto the outerside of your left foot at the finish, i see most good golfers doing this, is there a drill to promote this feeling,i hit the ball reasonably wellusing your method but rarely get rolling over of the left foot feeling.

     Once you balance on the tip of the back toe and you allow the weight to shift to this forward leg you should roll onto this foot automatically. The only way you can keep it flat is too have too wide of a stance and/or not shift your weight fully. Make sure this foot is turned out and it should go there. Here is the video:

   In the raising of the right heel can you raise it to much before impact ,how would this affect the shot shape,does the touch the knee drill have same result in curing the fat shot.

     Barry,

     Yes, you can raise this foot too much at impact. This could be be coming over the top or driving the lower body way too hard. If you are over the top the ball will obviously start left. If you are getting your lower body too far ahead of the upper you will block it.

     Fat shots are caused because you have too much weight on your back foot at impact. Just touch the legs a little faster in the downswing. This will get you off this back foot a little faster and you will be fixed.
