Difference between clubface control and steering?

[pm4610]

Isn't cubface control at least a form of "steering"? I don't understand the difference.

Thanks,

Clubface control is knowing where your clubface is directed and directing it where you want it to go.

Steering is, I think according to the way it is usually used here, a problem generally of hookers who try to keep the face from going too far left and try to keep the face facing towards the target to avoid going left and then left-er.

steering is trying to move the clubhead in a certain path to get the ball to start where you want it instead of having proper club face for the path you started on.

I think people that steer tend to "drag the handle" a lot too.

I thought you were supposed to "drag the handle" as that keeps your hands in front of the clubhead (forward shaft lean)?

steering isn't pulling/pushing dependent; anyone who tries the steer the clubhead is a steerer lol

Clubface "management" might be a better description.

NOOOOOOO! Aim the thrust, manage the lag and the throwout action will present the club to the ball with forward lean. Forward lean is only for an instance anyway, then the clubhead will seek alignment with the left arm and overtake.

i.e., a slicer who tries to swing more left or a hooker who tries to swing more right?

I occasionally have some issues with steering and it always stems from coming slightly over the top. The clubface initially starts going left, the mind tries to square up the clubface to the target and all hell breaks loose.

All these terms and terminology, what happen to 2 kids who does not understand the English language? Is it gonna make a difference? Not likely. But then, when form dictates the function, ahh..... then it all fall in place.

Don't worry. Even we folks that know English well don't understand half of it anyway.

Steering is trying to hit the ball dead centre in the rear, with a club face held square to the target line into and way beyond impact, in a misguided attempt to steer the ball straight down the the target line.

Swinging on an inclined plane with a club face that opens on the back swing and closes on the down swing, squaring up naturally, or by skilled club face control, through impact in the process, is overridden by the steerer.
