That sounds funny but it is so true. The flight of the golf ball is your best teacher. The golf ball has no preconceived notions about the golf swing
Golf course strategy is often overlooked as part of the learning process. I have always felt it is ridiculous to teach someone how to swing a golf club and
Now it is time to try and understand ball flight and whatever swing issues can effect the resulting shot.
In the last post we talked about swinging the golf club back by coiling your upper body while resisting with your lower body. In order to create some resistance from your lower body in the backswing
The 4th and final influence on the flight of the golf ball is clubhead speed. It is clubhead speed that tells the golf ball how far to go. In order to create club head speed we will have to put the swing in motion.
That being said, the 3rd influence on the flight of the golf ball is the angle of attack (the angle that the club approaches the golf ball). Rule of thumb is that the longer the club the more shallow the angle of approach. Conversely , the shorter the club , the steeper the angle of approach. Did you ever wonder why your clubs are all different lengths.
Today we will discuss swing path and it’s influence on ball flight.

If you do not put yourself in the correct starting position, you will not have a chance to swing the club along the proper path
