I want to confirm that my club face is in the correct position at setup. I think I remember seeing something in one of the videos about this. What I remember is that when you push your hands forward the club face opens slightly. And there is a reason to do this. Is this correct? And can you direct me to the video that illustrates this? And what is the reason to do it? Thanks, Mike

@galloway8625 & @fish4197 - Stock hand position is even with the inside of the lead thigh. From there, if you played the ball even with your lead shoulder the clubface would be perpendicular to the target line. As you adjust the ball position further back in the stance - while keeping the hands in stock position - the clubface will naturally open to incrementally increasing degrees. A face that is open to the target line and closed to the proper in-to-out downswing path will produce a push-draw flight.
While this may be considered a more advance level course, it's never too early to obtain a basic understanding of ball flight laws and the Shot Shaping Grid.
