Face Angle and Swing Path

To change the typical shot pattern or curvature of the flight of your ball, first learn the combination of face angle and swing path that typically creates the curvature. This is the beginning of understanding your own swing. The next most important factor is to understand the relationship of the initial starting direction of the ball. The initial direction of the ball flight is directly related to the club face angle at impact. Generally, where the club is aiming at the moment of impact is the direction the ball starts. How it then curves is the relationship of the path to that club face angle. While the intended target and your success in aligning toward it is also imperative, the beginning of your understanding of your swing starts with path and club face.







Understand and embrace your golf swing. Own it. Even if it's peculiar, quirky, or eccentric.
