PROBLEM: Toe of the clubhead contacts the ball, resulting in weak and erratic shots.

Swaying can cause this problem.

When you sway back in your backswing and you do not sway forward during your downswing, your clubhead bottoms out and begins to move inside well behind the ball. 

This misaligns the clubface at impact.

It can also be caused by, or in combination with, an out-to-in swingpath.

With the right tempo, let your lower body start the downswing, keep your elbow tucked against your side, and keep your left side firm through impact.

Transfer weight from top of swing diagonally toward right of target, while letting right elbow come down.
