I disagree. Clubface has more influence than swing path on the starting direction of the ball. Laurentino's "Negotiable Golf Swing" has an excellent explanation. I hit far less trees after I read it.

Thanks for the comment;

I understand what you are saying; this method is to get the head around the concept; then you have other factors like amount of loft, where in the arc you catch the ball, what relation the center of the body is etc...I get more into it with "golf pro lesson be a solid ball striker" and "golf pro lesson tilted spiral part 3"; Shawn

Shawn,

I have watched all the videos and have become a pretty solid iron player, but since my irons have gotten better, my driver has gotten worse. I have a serious push, then slice with the big stick, how come the irons have become straigter, and most even draw but I'm having problems with the driver?

[clemshaw]

great question!

Sounds to me that you have gotten too close to the ball with the driver; see "golf pro lesson set up for all clubs", "golf pro lesson taut swing philosophy" and "golf pro lesson great driver tip" and the second half of "golf pro lesson modern driver part 2"

@f0cusen This video is to get the basic Idea for the majority of golfers; you will like my more elaborate version in "working the ball; part 1, 2 and 3; shawn clement"; you will see that it is very close to what you just described; Thank you for your comment and explanation! Shawn

@clemshaw Shawn you are wrong you start the ball with the clubface and you curve the ball with the swingpath. So when you are hitting a draw your clubface is actually open to the target line therefor the ball starts right of the target but your clubface is closed in relation to the swingpath. And having an in to out swingpath helps you to hit this draw shot. Fade the swingpath goes more to the left the clubface is open to the swingpath but closed to the targetline thus the ball will start left.

Brilliant analogy...comparing to soccer !

[geronimoxxxxxcvx]

By aiming the clubface, do you rotate the club in your hands before you grip it ?

Thx
