Swing The ClubHEAD?

[birdie_man]

Is swinging the clubHEAD and monitoring the clubFACE really such a bad thing for everyone in our Post-D-Plane Era?

(The D-Plane Literacy Era)

"Put the clubFACE on the ball." -unknown, and self-mastery (R.I.P.?)

Clubhead arc and positioning is the most important thing for me birdie...everything else I do is based around that....I basically rely (train) on my body to fit to the clubhead....
But that's just me.....

Another well known saying "Swing the clubhead in a circle, with your hands"

I like swinging the GRIP.

I like to leave the CLUBHEAD behind.

That's a Bill Bolton training regime I think...He used to teach "swing the grip from address to a full finish"...

Thinking about the clubhead doesn't neccessarily mean you don't (leave it behind)....

I focus primarily on clubface

Its my minimalist takeaway from Brian's advice in NSA where he talks about the reason for slices and hooks. I imagine there are some great golfers that have great hands wrt clubface control. Me, I'm just clamping down my lower index finger to achieve better feel of the clubface angle.

How is "swinging the grip" better?

Helps me maintain lag- grip beats the clubhead past the ball.

manz instruction tends to lean towas clubhead, no? (thinking about statments about pivot, lag etc)

How is one supposed to develop clubface control with thinking about the grip/handle?

ds,

I tried this for a while about 7 years ago..

Although I made some good strikes on the ball, I found it made me too "armsy."

Control the CLUBFACE with your left wrist.
Control the CLUBHEAD with lag pressure point #3 (right index finger)
Control the CLUBSHAFT by tracing the straight-line base line of the incline plane

is using the left wrist to learn how to control the clubface the only way to do it successfully?

Can't you also control the clubface with pp#3?
