The curved blue line is the ball flight.

Could you clearly the red and blue lines? Which is the swing part and which is the ball flight?

Thanks

I’m not sure if I’m understanding what you’re saying exactly.

When you swing up (positive angle of attack), the path gets shifted left. When you hit down (negative AoA), the path shifts right. That’s all. You can hit driver with a positive or negative AoA. You can hit the ball off the turf with a very negative AoA or near 0.

Hope that helps.

Best,

Matt

Crazy Thought, it was mentioned to Hit Up on the Ball, (Driver) your Path is to the Left of Target and to Hit Down your Path is right of the Target…
Is this Correct?
Make Sense however, If your Hitting a Driver, to Hit Up, are you saying the Club Path is left of Target with a Square Club Face.
Correct my thought Process…

Levon,

A club face that is open to the target and a path that is left of the face, whether it’s straight at the target, left of the target, or right of the target, will result in a push fade.

Best,

Matt

Why isn’t there a straight path with an open club face in the 9 flights? Straight/closed=pull hook…straight/square= straight. Shouldn’t straight/open=push fade or something? Thanks
