I joined this site a couple of months ago, after randomly finding one of Brian's videos on youtube. since then, i have visited this site almost every day. This is, however, my first post. I am posting to see if anyone can help me learn get to impact with the clubface open.
I play to a 1 - 2 GHIN, but mostly because I putt well. I have tried to qualify for some state tournaments, but usually fall short because of poor ball striking (in the last tournament, i hit 6 greens, had 3 birdies - hit 1 green on the front 9). Anyways, this post is getting too long, so i'll get to the point.
under pressure, I am afraid that I am going to hit the ball left, so I try to hold off my release - sometimes I push, sometimes I flip and hook. In non-competitive play and on the range, bad shots start at the target and move left. From what I can gather from this site, it appears that I am getting to impact at square or (worse) closed, then even more so at separation.
I have done a search for an open clubface at impact, to no avail. Any links, drills,etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all you guys do.
