What 2 Factors Influence Golf Direction?


There are no secrets or mysteries to golf direction, it's down to simple geometry and physics as to why the golf ball will go to the left or right, straight or curve. There are 2 factors alone that influence the direction and shape the golf ball will take on its journey to its destination, they are:

Golf Direction Factor 1 - Path Of Swing:

The path of swing describe the direction in which the club head is heading at the moment of impact with the golf ball. There are 3 possible outcomes, it will either be:

1) Inside To Outside - meaning that at the moment of impact the club head would have arrived at the ball from inside the target line (imaginary straight line running through the ball to the target) and heading outside the line of target after contact, which will result in the ball traveling right of target initially.

2) Inside To Inside - meaning that at the moment of impact the club head would have arrived at the ball from just inside the target line but heading back inside of the target line after contact, which will result in the ball traveling straight at the target initially. This path of swing is preferred as it will give you the most consistent results.

3) Outside To Inside - meaning that at the moment of impact the club head would have arrived at the ball from outside the target line and heading inside the target line after contact. Probably the most common path of swing amongst average golfers, and a major cause for golf slicing.

If you are problems with golf slicing, then i would recommend Dave Jones 'Instant Golf Slice Cure', it's a great golf ebook that is easy to follow and has been specifically designed to help you cure your golf slice in 4 simple steps.

N.B. that the preferred path of swing for golf direction is inside to inside and not straight to straight! this is because when you are set up to the golf ball it is some distance away from your body, so the golf swing will naturally have an inclined shape to it.

Golf Direction Factor 2 - Clubface Position:

The clubface position describes what the clubface is doing at the moment of impact. Again there are 3 possible positions, which are as follows:

1) Clubface is Open - if the clubface position is open at the moment of impact then the golf ball will always curve to the right, resulting in a fade or slice (depending on how open the clubface is).

2) Clubface is Square - when the clubface position is square at the moment of impact, then the golf ball will always travel straight.

3) Clubface is Closed - if the clubface position is closed at the moment of impact, then the golf ball will always curve left, resulting in a draw or hook (again, depending on how closed the clubface is).

These 2 factors, path of swing and clubface position work in partnership and create the golf ball flight laws, which states that there are only 9 basic shot patterns.
