Swing question

I went to the sim for the first time this year and while I didn't play too bad I did notice that alot of my shots were going right. It was very much a push s...

Sneakylong If his path is 3 degrees in to out, but his face is closed to that path, let's say 2 degrees then it will not go right.

It absolutely will START to the right of the intended target. It will fade from there.

Have you ever played ping pong?

So you disagree with the quote below.

“In golf, a closed face to path is when the clubface is at an angle that's closed to the swing path at the point of impact. This can cause the ball to hook or draw.”

Typhoon And in true Golfbuzz form, another thread takes a nasty turn

Yup. He misconstrued a post of mine where the subject was YouTube golf channels. I posted about the YouTube channel called ‘The Average Golfer’ (his name is Andy), and that his handicap was ~ 7.

He came back all confused going after me that I was saying that the average golfer’s handicap was ~ 7.🙄 Took awhile for the light bulb to go on. I suspect there’s an element of confusion here as well.

Lost in translation as they say.🙂

Lot of good suggestions and perhaps remedies. Well done guys. I think he should organize a list and spend some time working through them till one becomes the most consistent fix.

If his path is 3 degrees in to out. And he can get his face closed to the path (like 2 degrees open instead of 3-5 degrees open) then his ball should fly like the third blue line G from the right. Push Draw.

I think it’s this

Typhoon Why are we still offering opinions… we’ve never even seen him swing. He might have quit actually

We don't know shit about this guy.....😂😂

It's clear that some of us have no one at home to debate with although I have no idea what that is like.

Sneakylong

To be fair. It wasn’t until Trackman (~ 2004) using radar came along that proved you could hit a draw with an open face. As long as it was closed to the path.

I’ll say this….I’ve had either a cold or flu the last couple of days….coughing constantly, fever, achy, haven’t slept in two nights, etc. Feel like shit! At least this thread has kept me entertained and even an LOL or two yesterday and today…..”Golf Buzz Therapy!”
🤣 🤣 🤣

fatshot Agree, plus I now ponder why I have not met any nerd physicists on the course before??😎🤔

I like that the 'experts' come out when the question is posted. And most of them refer to an 'expert' on YouTube.

Wasn't going to post this 'swing secret' but have now decided it's time.

Take 100 needles. 100 strings of thread. Put the thread through the needles' eyes.
Go play golf.

You'll see just how easy the game is now. 😲

Aim small?

sdandrea1 After about 30 needles, you'll figure it out.
And be cock-eyed, maybe.

garyt1957 Adjustable driver? Close the face

Missed this. For his 3-5 degree open face this is good advice. Just set it to the highest loft which closes the face. Also, he could try a draw bias driver which will have more weight in the heel.

That moves the center of gravity more towards the heel allowing for a little more toe gear effect etc.. In all the tests I’ve seen the Ping SFT line offers the most left bias in a driver.

You should consider changing your moniker from Sneakylong to Apparentlystraight

I'm not saying it's guaranteed to work but would be the easiest thing to try first. One minute adjustment and a few swings will give you the answer

Wow does this seem true to me. I just got one and from early trials it might have even too much correction for me. I didn't think they could effect flight that much.

Sneakylong I notice most of my buddies (all slicers) never use the +Loft or Draw setting or thereabouts to have a more square or closed face. For years I always used the TaylorMade Neutral/Upright setting, but have mainly used Plus loft + Draw settings the last few years. I find a lot of the recent drivers seem to have the face several degrees open in the Std setting.

I was an idiot and told one of my golf buddies about this after he got his new Cally driver last year. He now hits it longer and straighter than ever. He is my main worry in money matches now since I still have to give him strokes.
