golf drives

The flight of the ball can be affected by the closed club face at impact. Before you practice, it is important to consider the effects of closed club faces. This article will discuss the impact of closed club faces at impact, corrective steps, and drills. These tips will help you to have a consistent closed club face at Impact.

Closed clubface at impact

A closed clubface position at impact will prevent the ball from starting off the path in the wrong direction. This angle determines the clubface's contact with the ground. If it is square to the ball-to-target line, the ball will start straight. If the clubface is in line with the swing path the ball will begin to curve to its left.

This clubface position looks similar to the open position except that the club's leading edge must face the ground when at address. If the clubface is pointing to the right at impact it will create a slice-and-push to the left.

Effects on ball flight

One of the most important concepts in golf is how a clubface is positioned at impact. It can cause a slice or unintentional drawing if the clubface is not closed at impact. This creates torque in the wrists and arms during impact. This can make it necessary for a player adjust their club's loft in an effort to improve ball flight control. There are options to rectify the problem.


The ball will be slightly pushed leftward by the clubface when it is closed. This will result in a slightly angled trajectory from impact to the target. This will cause your ball to fly to the right during its flight.

Corrective actions

Corrective actions to correct closed club face at impact are crucial for the overall performance and enjoyment of the golf swing. The club face angle should align with the swing path. If the ball begins on the left, the club face should be aligned with the out-toin path. If the ball goes to the right side, then the club face angle needs to be in line with in-to-out swing paths.

A club with a closed club face at impact can have several causes. The first is improper setup, swing paths, and follow through. The second is improper rotation, early extensions, and lack shaft lean.

Practice drills

The drill helps you to become aware of the angle at impact by practicing a golf clubface drill. The angle of a clubface will determine the flight of the ball. The curvature and flight of the shot are also affected by clubpath. Knowing which shape is predominant is essential for achieving the correct launch.

Golfers often struggle with clubfaces. This can lead problems such as left handed shots, scooping or casting too early. Practice drills to help square the clubface are crucial for correct alignment.
