Golf Swing Fault Finder | Understanding a Straight Ball Flight.

We can help correct your wayward ball flight or swing fault with a "Golf Swing Quick Fix"

Having the ability to manoeuvre your golf ball into play by deliberately changing it’s natural flight can be quite an advantage to have over your competitors. However I am sure it becomes very frustrating when you play yourself out of position by playing shots that have an un-wanted or un-controllable 'Ball Flight' that you did not intend to be play!

Understanding different 'Ball Flights' and their common swing causes is a vital part of understanding, controlling and improving your own 'Golf Swing'. Within this 'Fault Finder Heading' I am going to give a description of your problem 'Ball Flight' together with a list of common swing faults that maybe causing your un-wanted shot.

A Straight Ball Flight flies on a straight line along your Target Line and has a neutral ball flight which is neither too high or too low. Your Golf Ball will fly straight to target if your Swing Plane and Swing Path together with your Clubface are all square to your Target Line at the moment of impact. It is also vital that your club's angle of attack is neither too steep nor too shallow through to the impact position.

Golden Rule.

Your golf ball will fly on a straight line to your Target if your Address & Posture is squarely positioned to your 'Target Line' to suit the type of shot you intend to play. This positioning creates a foundation of 'Angles and Lines' for your 'Core Body Movements' to rotate around then as your 'Core Body Movements' rotate they will create space around your body for your 'Hand & Arm Swing' (Golf Swing) to move freely into, thus creating a natural 'Swing Plane' and 'Swing Path'. It is also vital that your Club's angle of attack is neither too steep nor too shallow in relation to your 'Swing Plane' and 'Swing Path' throughout your Hitting Area, which your 'Posture Positioning' will help to control!

Your Golf Swing needs to be encouraged to move on a neutral Swing Plane when moving into your Backswing with plenty of width in the Hand & Arm Swing, then return your swing on the same neutral Swing Plane into your Downswing through to your Impact Position and on into your Follow-Through Swing, while maintaining width in the Hand & Arm Swing.
