One of the questions I have is based on something that happens from time to time with me.
I hit the ball farther than I should with some clubs.
In watching this video, I think one of the things I missed was the "delofting" of the club. Shown at 1:40 in the video When I set up with a 9 iron (or any club) and move my hands forward, I don't think I am opening the clubhead at all.
I must be in fact as Tom says de-lofting the club and turning it into another club which will make me hit that 9 iron farther than I would normally.
Would I be correct in this assumption?
So, instead of delofting (which I must be doing), I should open that face as shown to ensure I am getting the correct distance for that club as well as that sweet draw that will only be the envy of all. If I am doing it with one club, I must be doing it with all the clubs. Would this also include the driver?
Won't this give me a better idea of the limits I have from one club to the other?
It applies to every club, Tom, but it is only a slight amount - 1-3 degrees as I say in the lesson. This does not happen by actively rolling the face open with the hands. It is simply the opening that should naturally occur when you set your clubface square behind the ball and then push your hands forward to the inside of your lead thigh (as if the clubface were simply "pivoting" open). Ball position will determine the extent of face openness. The further back in the stance your ball position is - for example, mid-stance for the short irons - the more open the face should be when you set your hands forward (though still slight). With the driver the standard ball position is just behind the hands, so the degree of openness may be barely noticeable.
If your downswing is working on the proper path, then this setup should preset the stock push-draw ball flight with each club.
