What squares the club face?

[ScienceBoy]

Interesting topic as my pro has me keeping the face slightly open at impact, starting the ball right and drawing back to target. It seems to work well for me.

Pretty much what I spent all last winter working on with my pro.

For me, I think a little miracle happens everytime the ball goes straight, not that it happens that often Swing, focus on target and hope!

Oliver Heuler, the guy in the video, is a former coach for the german national team and runs one of the most well know learning centers in Flesensee in northern germany (the video is in english, though).

Some fascinating stuff in that series of vids - if put across in a classic German style!

Spatial awareness and control. Same as picking up a cup of coffee, i.e. what makes your hands arrive at the handle without knocking over the cup? Why over complicate it with you need to do x, y, z? Just do it.

Evening all....just wondering what square the club face....is it turning your hands over? Body rotation? Or something else??

It's returning the club face to where it started.

Square to what? Target? A zeroed path?


If your swing path is 5 degrees to the left, you do not want your face pointing squarely at the flag. You will slice the the ball and miss target left.

Apart from luck and as Homer says planetary alignment, I find that a shaft angle of 23 degrees perpendicular to the path with a 6 degree closed baseball grip on the take away, bowed left wrist and a strong shoulder turn to start the down swing helps get the ball off the tee a few feet

I think square to the swingpath is a given, or consistently open or closed if you require a fade or draw.
