Comments on: What is the easiest way to square club face at impact? http://under21group.com/53 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 15:07:34 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Peter_Griffin http://under21group.com/53/comment-page-1#comment-92 Peter_Griffin Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:59:12 +0000 http://under21group.com/53#comment-92 The last guy almost got it right but not sure what he was thinking about at the end... There are a couple ways to square the club up (body release vs. hands) but for a beginner you need to learn the feeling of your hands releasing the club at impact. This will not only have the effect of squaring the club, but add a few mph to your swing speed as well. Think of your swing as a semi-circle or outer half of a wheel. As the club approaches the ball from the inside (riding the rim of the wheel), feel the back of your left hand squaring up so that at impact the logo on your glove is at least facing the target. It CONTINUES to rotate so that just after impact the logo now faces the ground. If you're right handed, imagine flinging a frisbee backhanded with your left hand. Another thought is to imagine you have a handful of feed pellets (again, in your left hand) and are feeding the chickens by flinging the feed backhanded. Be aware of how your hand, wrist, and forearm all work together and rotate towards the ground. Good luck! The last guy almost got it right but not sure what he was thinking about at the end…

The clubface's relation to the ball at impact. If the clubface is closed at impact, the ball will hook/draw; open, and the ball will slice/fade. Everything you hear or read about problems with your hand position, or the ball position, or your swing path, or your timing, or your weight shift or whatever are merely symptoms leading to the problem of the clubface not being square at impact. Here's what you do. The logo on the back of your glove should be square with the clubface. If you concentrate on squaring the back of your hand to the target, you will square the face as well. Hold that position and keep it pointed toward the target through the follow through to promote a straighter shot. Just a tip.

First, when you take your hands back, with your left arm straight, make sure you are just moving the club face straight backwards, and not doing anything to mess it up. another problem is when you're moving through your whole swing, you need to keep the club back in the same path at all times. Finally, when you come down, let your hips whip your arms forward and push as hard as you can through the ball, almost like trying to push a boulder. If you can do that, and keep your head down on the ball, you shouldn't have a problem squaring the face.

To see how this works address the ball, and simply pull the club head above the ball without rotating the wrists. Bring the clubhead up to parallel to the ground by pushing with the heal of the left hand and pulling with the right hand index finger and thumb. Feel that sensation of applying pressure with the left hand and resisting that pressure with the right. Repeating this feeling and allowing the large muscle groups of your torso to rotate around the axis of the spine will keep the club square, and your ball flight on a frozen rope.

it could be too far forward in your stance OR
club face could be closed OR
it could just be your aim

ir the ball flies right then:
you could be pulling you head up OR
club face could be open OR
grip could be too loose OR
again it could be the aim

to keep it straight try these:
ball in the middle of your stance
make sure your aim is good
accelerate thru the ball
head down

thats all i got for now
