NSA and NHA question

[tongzilla]

Why is fixing the clubface the main priority in NSA but not in NHA (even though it's still important)?

Hooker's "generally" don't have the same type of clubface issue that slicers do. If anything they just get the club too closed and it compounds their hooking problem.

If you watch the NHA video brian mentions to the hooker buying the video to get the left thumb more "under" the club at the top which helps to bend their left wrist and open the face more which allows them to swing a bit more on plane.

However that isn't always the case but it is the majority of the time.

When you are fixing the golfer who swings TOO FAR TO THE RIGHt and has TOO CLOSED A CLUBFACE (The "so-called" hooker), if you just fixed his face, the under the palne move would produce a WEAKER shot than the normal "problem" shot he showed up with.

The Slicer who SWINGS TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT and has a CLUBFACE THAT IS TOO OPEN, will hit a longer, stronger shot after fixing the face.

That's only one reason.

The next reason is that when you are getting the "Hooker" to not: lean away so much, not tilt so much without rotation, etc., that golfer is often most shocked by where the ball goes with JUST a fixed pivot and path.

That is becuase of a bunch of things, but mainly becuase of—what I call—reaction HINGE action.

There are many more reasons, some I'd like to keep to myself , but trust me, this approach: "fixing the clubface FIRST in NSA but fixing PATH/PIVOT first in NHA" is mainly becuase, after 25 years of fighting my way to where I am today,

It works better.

I can't get no....

Leo,

You wouldn't be satisfied if I got you to win the US OPEN, if it wasn't with "whomever's" idea of what was correct being used.

And that's a fact, Jack.
