Swinging hard, FATS, & the Toss

[curtisj76]

So what's the secret to all this? How does one still give it a pretty good go while not having a lot of FATS and still give a good Toss into the ball?

Not sure this is an answer, but I tend to hit the ball fat when I consciously try to shallow my swing plane too much on the downswing.

Just to clarify: FATS = force across the shaft

There's a difference between maintaining FATS to not flip and applying FATS for speed.

Thanks Kevin but I'm not sure what you exactly mean.

What I've been doing recently is the FEEL of trying to get the club to the ball before my hands. The FEEL is almost like a little bit of a casting motion with a little over the top thrown in there.

The reason I'm asking is because whenever I try to give her a ride it's push fade city.

Thats what i mean. When some people go at it they may keep force on the shaft and not flip but the pulling overides it and keeps the face open. Aplying FATS to tumble the sweetspot or sling the head has a different effect.
