Hey everyone, Meredith Kirk here. I am at TPC Myrtle Beach getting ready to give you a really amazing golf tip and we're going to be talking about the face of the golf club and the swing path. This is going to be really good.
If you want to hit straight shots, you don't necessarily have to fix your swing, but you definitely have to fix this relationship at impact. And I'm talking about control of the club face and your swing path. So, this is a relationship and it's an important one because the club face affects the direction that the ball takes off at impact. And then your swing path determines the direction that the ball is going to curve on. So the swing path is more like the curvature of the ball. Now if we're talking straight shots, we have to make sure that the club face is nice and square to the ball. And we have to make sure that we are on swinging on our target line, that we're not swinging outside in path, which is going to create curvature. We're not swinging too far on the inside and and pushing that ball out. We want to make sure that we stay nice and on plane so that when the club meets the ball at impact, that face is nice and square and it's on the correct plane and you're going to get that straight shot. So, I'm going to go ahead and hit a shot for you. What I want you to think about is this. I really want you to focus on setting up nice and square because again, the goal is to get back to square at impact. And I want you to think about your swing path. Making sure that the club stays nice and straight on that target line. As you take the club back and down through, you want to make sure you meet back up on that. Again, we don't want to create curvature. So, I'm going to give it a shot here. My goal again is a nice easy swing, straight shot.
So, there you go. That was a straight shot because I was focused on my relationship between the club face and the ball and my swing path. Again, remember this relationship is most important at impact. If you're tired of the curvature of your ball, really focus on keeping it square and making sure that you're coming through on the target line through impact. So, if you like that tip on the swing plane at impact, follow along, like, subscribe. I want to hear from you. And also don't forget to go to myrtle beachgolftrips.com to book your next golf vacation.
