Hey everybody thanks for tuning in I'm George Conley with scratch golf tips and Today we're going to be talking about Club face awareness more importantly for Those who struggle with an open Club Face what are some swing feels and Drills that you can do to reduce the Openness of that club face and have it Be more neutral at impact so just for Sake of demonstration if this is a Fairly neutral Club face at impact and Also at address this would be a slightly Open Club face you're exposing the heel Or you're exposing the bounce of the Club a little bit more and you you have More room on the grooves like this so When the club face is open at impact What's going to happen is the ball has a Little bit more room to roll to the side Because of the openness angle of the Club so if the ball hits here because The club is open it's going to roll a Little bit off to the side which will Create side spin on the ball leading for A right-handed golfer for the ball to Move in the air left to right so for Those who have a pretty dominant slice What usually happens is that club face Is very open and they swing across the Ball those two factors put a lot of Right or left to right spin on the ball For a left-hand golfer it would be right To left This would be a fairly neutral Club face

At impact and then this would be closed And a closed Club face and impact would Have the exact opposite effects where it Would hook for a right-handed golfer That would be right to left but we're Not talking about the closed code phase We were talking about the issue of the Open Club face now if you see this club Face right here and you look at the Bottom of your screen where my hands are If I want to make this open I'll do this If I want to close it I'll do this now It's not in my upper body it's not in Any any other part of the body other Than my front hand for a right-handed Golfer your right hand So you can see me doing this motion it's All in my wrist right here and it's all In the the fingers the front fingers That predominantly grip the club so it's Almost like I'm turning a doorknob so That's one swing feel that you can have Is if you want to adjust where that club Face is feel like you're turning a Doorknob and that's good to do at a Dress you'll actually see some Professional golfers over the ball doing Little shifts with their Club face first Off if we're looking to have a better Club face position at impact we need to Have a neutral Club position at a dress Now one thing that is important to note Here is so so many amateur golfers who Struggle with an open Club face think
