| Most golfers struggle with a left-to-right shot shape (left handers are vice versa). If that’s you it’s robbing you of distance; time in the fairway and on the greens; and fulfillment. You should get that sorted now. Contact us and let’s see what the real problem is. You all know what causes a shot to move right (or left for left-handers) after starting in one direction. | | In all of these examples the clubhead is ‘open’ to the direction the club face is pointing at impact. That imparts left to right sidespin on the golf ball. | | | There are different reasons the face might be open to your swing path. Our job is to diagnose the problem you’re having and help you to improve. It’s a fun feeling as you start to hit better shots. | | | It’s your golf game, your swing, and your ambition. That’s where we start. If removing a slice is an ambition, then the reward is a lot more fulfillment on the golf course with your friends. Book an assessment now. | |

| In the search for improved ball striking consistency for you, we know we need to match the club weight and swing weight to your swing. Last week we looked at club weight. This week we introduce swing weight, which confusingly isn’t a specific measure of weight, but something that measures feel. | The swing weight of a golf club isn’t recorded as a weight but as a letter and number. Swing weight measures the distribution of weight across the club. The more mass in the head, the higher the swing weight. A0 is the lowest swing weight and F9 is the highest. | | | A higher swing weight makes it easier to feel the head. But a heavier head may be to difficult to control. | | Some golfers increase swing weight by adding lead tape to the clubhead (increasing the relative mass of the head). Note though that moving swing weight 1 point (e.g D2 to D3) is about the equivalent of adding .07oz of weight (or a small coin). | | | | We want to try and match club weight and swing weight to both your swing and your preference. But the end result we both want is improved shotmaking consistency. Always buy equipment with a fitting. Contact us. | |
