Clubhead Path (Right Hand) and Clubface Alignment (Left Hand)

Luke is right, Jeff. You have for years been habitually aligning your Clubface Square to the Target Line and open to the direction of your Clubhead's Outside-In Path through the Ball. You've Steered (the First Snare / 3-F-7-A) through Impact and thus have not been able to achieve the true Roll of the #3 Accumulator (Left Arm and Club Angle). That's because your Computer knows that if you do Roll, it's "Fore Left!"

Now you have made a great deal of progress in a very short period of time. For the first time, your Clubhead is taking the correct Inside-Out Path through Impact. But, your habitual tendency to Steer is causing you to align the Clubface Open to the new Inside-Out Flight Path of the Clubhead (2-N-0). So off the Ball goes to the right. Or even right-to-right! Don't feel bad...this is what everybody does!

Now the challenge:

Your subconscious Feel (to Steer and align the Clubface Open to the direction of your Swing Path) and your intellectual knowledge (of the correct Horizontal Hinge Action and its Roll through Impact) must 'duke it out.' It's a little like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time.

You must learn to differentiate the respective Motions by Feel. That is, the Clubhead Path (Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point Tracing) and the Clubface Alignment (the Flat Left Wrist executing its Horizontal Hinge Action). Two separate and distinct actions...but ultimately one Motion with its own identifiable Feel. Sounds tough, but it's really not. With a little time...

It's a piece of cake.

We are indeed....

Fearfully and wonderfully made.
