Launch Angle Isn’t Just About Loft Many golfers hear terms like “launch angle” and “angle of attack” and assume they mean the same thing—or that both are just about hitting up or down. But that’s only part of the story. Launch angle and angle of attack are two very different measurements, and both play a…
Curvature Is Not an Accident If you’ve ever asked, “Why did that ball curve so much?” or “How do pros hit the same draw over and over?”, the answer almost always comes back to face-to-path. Curvature isn’t random. It’s not about holding off the finish or “releasing the hands” at the right time. Every fade,…
Is Your Clubface Really Square? Most golfers have no idea where their clubface is pointing during the swing. They make a good move, strike the ball cleanly, and then wonder why the shot starts left or sails right. What they don’t realize is that face angle—not swing path—is often the real culprit. Elite ball-strikers don’t…
The Face Controls the Flight Most golfers think their slice, hook, or push comes from swinging over the top or dropping too far inside. But if you really want to understand your ball flight, you need to look at one thing first: your clubface at impact. The face angle—not the path—is what determines the majority…
Most amateur golfers experience the same miss over and over, yet they chalk it up to “just a bad swing.” In reality, that miss is a symptom — a clue your swing is sending you. The direction, height, and contact quality of your shots can tell you exactly what’s going wrong in your mechanics, from…
If you’ve ever had one great ball-striking day followed by three frustrating ones, you’re not alone. Inconsistency plagues most amateur golfers — not because they lack talent, but because they lack a repeatable swing built on sound fundamentals. The truth is, you don’t need a perfect swing to play great golf. You just need one…
The Root Cause of Your Misses Might Be in Your Hands Most golfers look at swing plane, tempo, or path when trying to fix a slice or hook. But in many cases, the issue starts much earlier—with the grip. Your grip directly influences your ability to control the clubface, and face angle is the single…
Hanging back is one of those swing faults that can quietly sabotage your ball striking without you even realizing it. At first glance, everything may look fine — you turn, swing, and make contact. But the result tells a different story: thin shots, fat shots, loss of distance, or that frustrating feeling of not compressing…
Few swing faults plague amateur golfers as consistently as the over-the-top move. It’s responsible for slices, weak pulls, glancing contact, and frustration that can last for years if left unaddressed. While the term “over the top” is commonly heard on the range, many golfers don’t fully understand what causes it — or how to correct…
Maintaining posture throughout the golf swing is one of the most underrated keys to consistent ball striking. While many golfers focus on grip, stance, or takeaway, the ability to stay in your spine angle from setup through impact plays a massive role in how well you control the clubface, your swing path, and ultimately your…
