D-Plane and Pull Slice

[Gravedigga]

Can you hit a pull slice with a clubface open relative to the path? I read somewhere that you can but I really don't see how that happens?

 

[Kevin Shields]

Sure. Path 8 degrees left face 6 degrees left. Ball starts left of target and curves right.

I saw Thomas Aiken's (Euro Tour Player) Flightscope #'s at the PGA Show.

-8 Path, -4 Face, -4 AofA.

With a driver.

Hey, whatever works. He could beat me 8 & 6.

 

[Gravedigga]

Oh so if my path is more out to in than my face is open, it'll be a pull slice? I think I get it... So the converse is, if my path is more in to out than my face is open, I'll hit a push draw?

As long as, by "open", you mean relative to the target. The face for a push draw would be right of target but closed to the path.

Only counts for center hits.

Oh-oh, here we go again. That pescy GE.

You can always just hit it right out of the heel and get yourself a pull slice that way.
