Clubface Alignment
Ideally, the clubface is square at impact, aiming in the direction of
the swing path. If you've determined from watching your shots that
the face is open, strengthen your grip at address by turning the hands
slightly away from the target. If the clubface is closed, weaken your
grip by turning your hands toward the target.
Eliminating the Ugliest Golf Shot
The ugliest shot in golf is the shank, or as the British politely refer to
it, the "socket." This horror occurs when the ball is struck by the
hosel -- the part of an iron that connects the head to the shaft --
rather than by the clubface. The ball flies low, short, and sharply to
the right, almost perpendicular to the target line. And you're
embarrassed.
There are many possible sources of a shank, from your setup to your
swing. These adjustments will help you shake the shanks.
At Your Feet:
If you set up with too much weight toward your
toes, you're likely to fall forward during the downswing. This shifts
the swing plane forward as well so you hit the ball off the hosel.
Start with your weight distributed evenly between the heels and balls
of your feet and keep it there throughout the swing.
