hi performance golfers this is Coach Carolyn and today we’re going to talk about how I’m going to help you fix your face your club face of course more exactly and we’re going to talk about how we can make sure we feel like that face is getting neutral and square at impact so you can avoid those right spinny shots that are so annoying and it just will not stay on the fairway so feeling and getting aware of what your club face is doing halfway down your down swing is really key because that’s right before impact right that’s like shaft parallel to the ground that is almost one of the last like key positions of where we need to make sure everything’s good to go so we can just explode and hit and really crush that ball towards our target so what should you be feeling like when you’re getting that club almost like halfway down parallel to the ground what I see a lot of times in my students they are essentially right here so when you look at this club face in this position halfway down this if you see this club face pointing up towards the sky if you drew a line parallel to the floor right here if that face is pointing above that line your face is open if you pointed it down if you see your club face that is putting pushing like down to the ground and looking down to the ground that is more closed so you want to make sure number one we get aware if you’re looking at your own video next time make sure you check this position is it kind of you know straight up is it open or is it shut so if you see your face coming in open like this that’s when you’re really going to struggle to shut it down because a few things need to happen for you to fix this either your body stalls and stops turning so your hands can catch up but that’ll create that flip that we really don’t want to see you have a two-way miss it’s really hard to score from there so let’s make sure we can talk about how you actually want to feel right here and I love to reference my right hand or my trail hand and the palm of my trail hand because it’s actually an extension of your club face if you think about it but it’s closer to your body so anything that’s closer to your body is going to be easier for you to control right it’s going to be easier for you to feel because the club head and the club face are quite far away from us they’re all the way on the ground our palm is halfway between that so let’s make sure and I want you to kind of step away from the ball to feel this don’t grip your club like you would normally have that club face square and have that palm square onto your grip now do a little bit like half shots feel this with your palm so you wouldn’t feel if you’re doing this you’re not going to feel like you’re doing that right the palm is now all of a sudden going to be manipulated and looking forward you want that palm your body knows this in order to hit the ball solidly you want that palm to actually start facing more towards the ground right here you’re naturally going to feel this see how it’s kind of pointing 45° down more to more so into the ground than forward this is wrong this is right again wrong right now you can feel like you’re push your palm down towards the ground through the ball and towards the target so right past the ball you’ll feel that palm facing right at the target you never want to catch that palm past when you’re past kind of halfway down you don’t ever want that palm to face forward you want that palm to face a little bit down right here see how that face now is pointing just slightly down to the ground and that is perfect all right guys quick break from today’s video look if you want to make massive improvements with your game and actually get way better in 2025 you got to do something different than you’ve done before and one of those things that I highly recommend is checking out these two-day schools that my friends at Performance Golf are hosting these are with the best coaches in the world people you see me in videos with all the time like Martin Chuck Andrew Rice Erica Lark and many more of the top coaches at awesome awesome places all around the United States we’re seeing great results with these schools because what we’re able to do when we see you in person is really find and fix the main root issue most all of us have like four or five things wrong with our swing you can’t do them all at one time but you can find and fix the main one thing which we can do in person like that we’re able to make massive improvements i’m talking like maybe two years of improvements in only 2 days so if you’re looking for something to really fast track your improvement this could be the thing that could take you to the next level we’ll put a link in the description down below check it out see if there’s a spot available in a location that works for you so now let’s take this drill and take this feel and put it into a pre-shot routine put it into a drill so you can make sure you can do it on the course so in my practice routine I’m going to grip the club normally i’m going to swing it to the top and I’m just going to pump down and feel like I’m throwing that palm facing down to the ground so it’s kind of like the hammer drill pump drill you can call this whatever you want but what we’re doing is we’re throwing that palm down to the ground and if I open this palm now you can see right here that it’s pointing down and then again then we’re able to be on track then all we need to do is rotate and hit so let’s hit a shot with this pre-shot routine take it to the top pump pump boom that was such a nice little penetrating draw and that’s really going to give you the feeling of having a much more square face at impact it’s going to allow you to rotate through the ball it’s going to allow your hands to get down in front of your body and it’s going to do so many good things for you that I cannot wait for you guys to try out this drill specifically all right golfers if you like
