Understand Your Ball Flight
One of the best ways to build and correct your technique, alongside PGA professional's is by learning why various Ball Flights happen. By watching what the ball does when you play and practice you can go along way to self - correction.
Variable ball flights are determined by the relationship between the clubface at impact and the path that the club swings on in relation to the target line at impact.
In reality there are only three swing paths that can happen in relation to the target line at impact. They are:
In - To - Out
Out - To - In
In - To - Straight - To - In
Golf swings fall into these three catagories. Click on to the relevant ball flight that you suffer from and you will find possible causes and their results.
Ball flights from the In - To - Out swing path
Push - The ball starts to the right of the target and stays there.
Hook - Ball starts to the right of the target then curves to the left to finish left of target.
Push Slice - The ball starts to the right of the ball to target linen then curves to the right.
Ball flights from the Out - To - In swing path
Pull - The ball starts to the left of the target and continues to stay there.
Slice - Ball starts left of the target then curves to the right to finish right of target.
Pull Hook - The ball starts left of the target and curves further to the left.
Ball flights from the In - To - Straight - To - In swing path
Ball starts straight but curves to finish left
Ball starts straight but curves to finish right
