Swing Consistency

photo credit: diluvi   The flight of the golf ball is controlled by the whole club during the swing, hopefully, straight at the target.  The position of the club-face at impact, in relation to the path of the club, determines the spin on the ball which affects the ball’s trajectory.  If the club-face is square when it strikes the ball, the ball will have perfect under-spin and fly straight.

If you set the club-face square at address and make sure the angle does not change during the course of the swing, you will hit the ball straight with the proper trajectory.  If the angle changes in any way, the ball’s flight will reflect the change in the club’s swing path.  Achieving a consistent swing should be every player’s ultimate goal.
