A Perfect Golf Swing Completely Controls The Flight Of The Ball

The flight of the golf ball is totally controllable by the impact of the club face and the ball.

For a straight shot the club face must be square to the flight line, traveling straight down said line and have the desired amount of loft as the ball is impacted. The ball must also be struck directly on the sweet spot of the club face and as if that is not enough we need a goodly amount of club head speed to get that perfectly straight flying golf shot.

For many years golf instructors have said that the straight flying shot is the hardest shot in golf to hit since it requires all of the above factors. Due to that most top players either favor a fade or a draw to eliminate erring one way or the other.

this generally works, but sometimes the curvature is either too much, perhaps not enough or still worse a double cross where the intended shot does the opposite of what was planned.

When the golf swing incorporates a rolling over action of the forearms this intentional curvature is definitely needed.

However when the forearms do not roll over through impact it is no harder to hit a straight shot than any other type of shot. As a matter of fact it has long been known that the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line.

Maximum ball compression can only be had with a true straight shot. Any error in path or club face angle at impact lessens said compression. The more compression we lose the more distance we lose for any given club head speed, in other words we can gain substantial distance through perfect club ball contact.

To that end here are the ball flight rules that determine the power, accuracy and shape of the shot.

Straight shot- club face square, traveling straight down the target line with proper loft. The ball will only carry back spin and have no side spin.

Fade- The fade is caused by a club face that is either open to the flight line as the club head travels straight down the flight line or a club face that is square to the flight line but not traveling straight down the flight line and coming from outside it before impact to inside it after impact. The ball will carry a combination of back spin and side spin.

Draw- The draw is the exact reverse of the fade.

Slice- The slice is simply a larger version of the fade, and is often caused by not rolling the forearms to square or a severe out to in club head path. this out to in club head path may also have an open club face creating an even bigger slice.

Hook- The exact reverse of the slice.

Now that you know what causes the curvature you are halfway to fixing it.

Dan has trained several champion long drivers and countless golfers who simply wanted to learn an easier on the body yet extremely powerful golf swing. Many of Dan's students are senior players who need increased distance to be competitive or players who simply want more power and accuracy to play an attacking game rather than a defensive one.

His book How to Kill the Ball is soon to be released in a Japanese language version in Japan, this book and his other works will also be translated to many languages to allow everyone the opportunity to learn this method.
