How to Hit the Golf Ball Straight with One Simple Move

The club face is the biggest influence on the direction of the golf ball. As you swing down you need to turn down the left hand getting the back of the left hand to look at the target to square the face. If you can do this move y;I will hit it straight every time.

Hi I’m Nick Compass director of instruction at sanan Country Club the most important thing for us to hit a golf ball straight is to be able to get that face squared impact I had student asked me the other day hey should it just happen well I I think you’ve got to

Have educated hands and you’ve got to train your hands a little bit to be able to hit these shots and to be able to squared up so you do need to work on it’s just not going to happen on its own and what I find a lot of times that get

People get working on their path is they do a good job of coming from the inside but then then as they get here they’re not really sure what to do and they end up getting some shots off to the right and when they get that they’re thinking

Man I I must be coming over the top still because it’s still slicing it’s not slicing it’s pushing off to the right because the face is open so again I do want to come from the inside but I’ve got to start to feel as I’m maybe about halfway down and maybe even a

Little sooner if you’re still missing the ball to the right I’ve got to get this left hand the back of this left hand to start to turn down and if you notice how this club face is starting to look down to the ground and towards that ball and that’s how that’s going to

Square up and then go on through okay um I did a post on this a little bit ago there was a a face on view of John ROM and you could see his hands the rotation that he would get with his hands so again as you get coming

Through this face is going to turn down and it’s going going to continue to rotate and be right here and so you can see how this left hand here is flat but I can see my fingernails my Knuckles are kind of turned down and you see the club

Face kind of at a 45° angle there that’s where it should go so what you probably need to do if you’re if you’re pushing the ball or slicing the golf ball and we need to square this face up making some little swings and being able to do that

Some slow rehearsals and getting that to this finish position right here okay so again if we look at it this way I’m here I’ve got to feel the back of this left hand that’s similar to the club face start to turn down squares up and then rotates on through okay so again it’s

Not going to happen naturally you’ve got to work at it you’ve got to get educated hands if you took any pro and you asked him to hit a shot r or to the left they’ve got enough educated hands and enough feel in there and feel with the

Club face that they can make it go in whatever Direction they want if you want to improve your ball striking and being able to control that flight in the direction you need to do that so again it’s not going to happen on its own work on that getting that hand to turn down

To square that face up and get that release
