Quick takeaways

  • Face control is crucial in controlling the direction and flight of the ball, and golfers should focus on getting the face in an appropriate position early in the swing to improve consistency.
  • Golfers with an open face should work on closing the face throughout the swing, starting with a square face at address and actively closing it during the downswing for better control and consistency.

Importance of Face Control

Face control is crucial in controlling the direction and flight of the ball. Many golfers struggle with an open face or closed face, leading to inconsistent shots. The key is to get the face in an appropriate position early in the swing, reducing the need for compensations and allowing for better rotation through impact.
