7 bits of golf geometry that will blow your mind
👇
The part of the ball you hit (inside/outside quadrant) has nothing to do with the path the club takes.
It's all to do with the face angle. Open to the target = inside quadrant struck first (and vice versa).
Leaning that shaft forwards DOES makes you strike higher on the face.
But....
It takes a whole 10 degrees of forward shaft lean (rotating the club around the sweet spot) to move the strike just 1 groove higher.
Digging just 1/4 inch deeper can be the difference between contacting ball and turf together, or hitting a whole 2+ inches behind it
It takes as little as 3 degrees open/closed with the face to hit a shot 35+ yards off-line with a driver (at 240 yards).
Opening or closing the face a very significant 5 degrees (twisting around the sweet spot) will only move the strike 2mm.
So mis-strikes are not caused by an overly open/closed face.
Any path can strike any part of the face.
Stop blaming your path-direction for mis-strikes
The path of the club at impact can vary depending on ball position.
Even with the same swing
