Cool Re: 5-minute lesson

The point I was trying(unsucessfully) to make was that by standing too close to the ball1. a person will swing out to in in order to hit the ball and, 2. sometimes will pull up and out of the shot due to crowding the ball.
Th, th, th,That's all folks!

slice is not always from an out to in path. i am assuiming that snow had a slight slice (open face with square path),and tried to fix it listening to the bad advice of swing more in to out which is why he now has a slice push. if that was the case go back to your old swing with a square path and learn to get your clubface square at impact.

or maybe snow did have and out to in path with a very open face which cause the ball to start left a little but and go right very far.

people seem to use try to get an in to out path too much, in to out can be just as bad as and out to in.

we want a IN to IN path with sqaure club face = strait shots.

my advice, try to work on squaring your club face at impact. can do that by either changin your grip, or not griping so tight that u retard the rotation of the club, or a few other things i am sure the good people at this site can give you tips for. (but i dont wanna highjack the thread, i would suggest that you start a new forom about this and mayb put link in here so people know where to go and see it) but you gotta fix your main problem (push/slice being club not quare and path too in to out) learn the 9 rules of ball flight will help you alot more so you know WHAT to try to fix when you go wrong before you start listening to advise like (keep you head down, or stay over the ball ect.) learn why keeping your head down will help you and what it will do to yout path and or club rotation.

like takinitdeep, no offense you probly are a better golfer than i, but read carfully. your advise will help slicing maybe do to open face and could be good advise to someont... just not snow, because "standing too close to the ball or hitting out to in" doesn't sound like snow's problem since he is hitting a push (in to out path)
