Hang Up, Dilemna?

[daluqfam]

I'm going to attempt to describe a problem that I have in my game that maybe others have experienced... especially when attempting an opened-faced shot. I have a tendency to not swing the vertical wrists, & opened clubface... but swing the sweetspot(closing the face to square as unintended). It's as though I swing the sweetspot more than my hands! Anybody experience such? What's the correction?

I don't follow.

My best description is that the open-faced sweetspot of the clubface semi-dominates the turn set delivery of the hands... and over rolls them to a squared up clubface... shutting the clubface relative to the intended open clubface at impact & separation.

I can't argue or question what you're feeling because that might be very real to you.

No relationship. The Sweetspot - Center of Gravity of the Clubhead - is separate from the Clubface.

You may be "Swiveling" and your feel is related to that. But, Swiveling is not Turn and Roll. The Center of Turn and Roll is the Hinge Pin. The Center of Swiveling can be anything Else.

In other words, I have no clue.

Daryl, sorry about my confusion. Here's another attempt. We've all spent countless hours on the range hitting a ludicrous amount of balls. The majority of those practice shots were an attempt to *square* the clubface at impact. Now when I want to fade a shot & grip the club in an open-faced alignment for that execution... something in my computer kicks in to manipulate the clubface back to*square*.

You're Swiveling. Stop. Use the Right Forearm Angle of Approach and Hinge Action.

Here's a Primer: it's only a primer.

Pick up your range bucket with your right hand. Palm up with the Handle of the Bucket hanging from your fingers. Make sure that the Top of the Bucket is level to the ground. Start with your right arm only, with the bucket hanging from your fingers and the bucket in-line with your right foot, the handle of the bucket should be parallel(close enough) to the plane line and the top of the bucket is level to the ground. Swing the bucket to the left and try to get it close to in-line with your left foot. The top of the bucket should still be level to the ground and the handle of the bucket should now be perpendicular to the plane line.

After you've learned to do the above, then also place your left hand on the bucket handle. Now watch as you move your right forearm so the bucket is near your left foot, that the left hand "Rolls" (the back of the flat left wrist is facing the target). The Flat Left Wrist was facing the plane line and is now facing the Target.


Swiveling is when you start with the top of the bucket level to the ground, but when you swung the bucket to your left until it's in-line with your left foot, the Top of the Bucket becomes perpendicular to the ground.

Tell your computer that you want to hit a push fade and see what happens.
