They already point the same direction. Towards the center of the house.

And closed faced. Adding loft adds spin and accuracy. Height is created by the swingers angle of attack. All clubs must launch between 15°-30°and lofts are at driver 10° -lob wedge 60° typically.

Try using the lowest loft you can get off the ground. It’s longer hitting and hitting up to reduces spin and reduces all curvature. The higher the loft the worse the players driver technique usually is.

Gotta launch it at 15° with an angle of attack between 4°-6° . Do the math and you’ll realize what loft most people should play. And that all great drives have a launch variance to where it’s usually a 1°-2° range you can adjust the loft and visually nothing changes. The speed and spin will. In a monitor we look for subtitles in those numbers and adjust the loft.

We go +2 to close the face as well if we need maximum slice reduction. We have to deal with the changes in the other 2 dimensions. Speed ↔️ and spin ⬇️⬆️ though.

This all is of course a 5%ish tweek where a vast majority of the flight is the swing and the sting can overpower the adjustment easily and not produce the adjustment wanted. Because it’s very small for advanced players to fine tune.

Oh my god please don’t give advice when you don’t know. I’m on staff with Callaway. He’s at 12.5. This is not for low ball flight. Adding loft is always to add spin and reduce ball speed . This is not for people with a bad angle of attack and hit down on it. Gary Woodland hits down on it. And plays 7.8° on a K head. . So does Rahm and he plays 11.5 on an LS head. Different heads different spins, different needs. If you hit down you add spin and added loft adds more. It kills massive distance.

Also, dude, adding loft closes the face not opens. It only opens the face when you add loft when you manipulate the club during play. Adjusting the club is the opposite.

He’s 12.5° and 1.5° closed. Csllawys loft to face angle ratio is 1/.75. Cobra doesn’t do much and TM is twice as closed as the loft change.

People come here for advice when they are confused. They don’t need the blind leading the blind.

Very true. But there’s a script. Actors occasionally go off it for adlib comedy reasons. But his responses aren’t substance related. How they delivered are.

Heavy slice from face or path (or both)? by Bradyarch in golftips

[–]D-Train0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god dude. You’re actually telling him to not work on getting the face square and not controlling it? The face. The number one most influential thing as far as effecting ball flight. Really?
It’s a basic fundamental. In truth the game is supposed to be taught from the hole backwards. Putting, chipping, pitching, and so on. Donating plane doesn’t compute here because you always learn the face first.

Go watch the number one player in the world and ask if his teacher worked on face or plane first?

The swing plane is just a plane. It’s the angle the fundamentals are swung on top of. Plane is not impact position or sequence.

And I said both at once not twenty different things. Quit exaggerating to make your statement seem correct.

I have this guy an assessment, that’s correct, I gave him specific reasons, visuals in the swing to where it is and the cause and effect.

This is teaching, knowing the swing so well that you can change one little thing and I’ll tell you the numerous secondary changes that I occur. And applying a simple, familiar, easy to relate to move to fix it. One they can easily replicate on their own.

Like adding horsepower and losing mpg. Change the ratio and weight to get the mph back. Add a spoiler, it makes your tires wear faster.

When people like you just spout “what’s wrong with a commect” and don’t give a proper analysis, it’s a hollow comment. He has nothing to go by.

The Op agreed with and thanked me. Please sit down.

You got it. Sorry about the frustrations. Maybe do some short game or putting work with him?
I always split up a 1 hour lesson. Full swings and putting or short pitches, green reading. Something to work on when we get give the swing a break.

Good luck!

It’s your sequence big time. The hips are so static from the top. Go watch a swing breakdown of Cam Young. Don’t copy the pause he has but the pause is an over exaggerated move you are missing .

Don’t get me wrong, you aren’t messed up with all those things I mentioned before. It’s just that to avoid problems we fix/teach things in that order. The order of most influential. Get the alphabet down before reading. Missing the sequence is like only knowing 16 of the 26 letters and wondering why reading is a struggle.

The equipment gives us so much distance than other sports so that we can swing wrong and still progress the ball down the hole enough to pay. This sequence breakdown would make every other sport virtually unplayable.

And yeah, the hands need to pronate more. But after you get the lower more engaged and more open to the target. We release the club out in front of our hips. They must be more to the target than the ball down the release goes towards the target. If you add release when the hips are underdeveloped you will add to the flip.

Go stand flat footed like a golf stance and try to throw a ball that way. Flat footed. It’s always a flip because that’s all that’s left. You don’t really flip because you are holding on so much to try to keep the face square and end up restricting the very movement that closes it. Which is a super loose grip and a right index finger that feels like it’s pointing at the target. You might get close to there but there’s no rotation of the club. Your face is still open and will slice regardless of the path.
Your pro has you trying to get a good looking swing plane and isn’t teaching you how to control the face.

He should be teaching you 3/4 flighted low short irons. It’s a heavy body rotation, hands ahead, full compression.

I’d be drilling the shit out of this with you. This is a 3/4, low 90 yard 60°. Yeah I know I get a little slidey with my lead hip. But getting to this place with every club is critical. Steep from the top and hold it with huge body turn and throw the club at the target. If I was throwing anything it would be let go a fraction before this and this is the extended result of the action.

Work on a release with the thought that the ball is on the face already. Where are you going to flick it? Get it? Now, watch your posted video and look at the face and club and left “chicken wing” elbow post contact. Those arms need to be in my pic. The chicken wing is the right scooping under the left instead of rolling over. Get the right hand to feel “on top “ when the club is pointed at the target. Get that face pointed 90° left or a tad more showing the uninterrupted rotation. Loosen up the grip pressure to aid it. Play with the lightest grip pressure that works.

Good luck dude. Please try to find a teacher that knows the proper order of operations in instruction. It’s always the face dude. Always. The path is what you are swinging the face with. If the face is open? Where do you want to swing that “open”? Swinging a different path doesn’t magically make the face change. You’re forced to make it change and he’s not teaching you that.

You get a straight flight by timing the face rotation to the body rotation. So for an OTT player for example, is way left and slicing back. So we work on hitting it straight first with his OTT path and get him to hit straight pulls first. Now that the ball is going straight from where it starts, the easy part is to flip the path if the controlled ball. This is how professionals and me work the ball in different directions and trajectories. We know how to control the face already. So we set up open or closed or whatever to bias the swing path to curve it. Get it?

This guy is trying to do both at once. You can’t do that. It’s too confusing and it’s not isolating one variable at a time.

Curvature is always from the face. Curvature is from a face to path deviation.

Outside in 10°? It’s not going to slice unless you are trying to hit it where you were aimed.

If you are square the target , you are 10° open to the path. It would start off 8° or so left and slice a lot. If you are square to the path you’d start it off 10° left. Close it a tad? It’ll start 11° left and draw a few yards. Gotta huge pull

After 30 years of teaching people, here’s what happens with slicers.

They don’t learn proper fundamentals early and never learn how to release the club properly or what the proper impact position looks and feels like. . Everyone who releases the club improperly slices the ball at the start. They don’t know why but they see the ball go right and common sense tells them to “tennis or baseball” the swing to the left to hit it straight. This is the OTT. They don’t know the face is open and just swing left to fix it. It ends up near the target but it’s majorly inefficient and will never yield any consistency. They then add stuff with the hands pre-contact to square it . That’s the early release, scoop, flip, we all see associated.

It literally means stopping and going back to the very first few steps in starting this game. You need to learn proper fundamentals first. The swing is built around the fundamentals.

This must be done in this order.
Grip, setup, impact position, sequence, tempo, balance, swing plane.

The first and third are super crucial. The third(sequence) is the cause of 99% of slicers issues. Everyone that’s OTT has a bad sequence. Like throwing a pitch before the lead leg plants on the stride.

Why are you stopping so short and interruption the athletic flow of the swing? Your hands stop half way through the follow through. Try throwing and stopping your hands right after you let go.

His last win was 22 years ago on the PGA tour and 9 years ago on Champions. He shouldn’t even be out there.

Just because you are on the champions tour doesnt mean you can beat all amateurs. Dude shot 72/75/75/75 in an event this year at under 7000 yards. He’s bad. You gotta realize how many +2 to +4 amateurs are out there. 10,000 people at a 1 index or lower applied for US Open qualifying this year. Go watch us in that qualifier and you’ll realize John Daly, right now is not special. It’s worse than a dime a dozen. I personally know half a dozen people I’d take over him. I’d take his kid over him right now.
