Well said KevCarter,

This summer, while there were a summer golf scool for kids at our club, I was hitting balls next to a couple of kids, around the age of 13. One of them had a pretty good motion but he was slicing the ball excessively (which isn't unusual after 3 days of golf). I asked him if he knew what caused the slice. He didn't. Then I explained to him how side spin worked and how the clubface angle and the club path angle affected where the ball started and ended. "Have you played soccer?". "Yes". "Do you know how to kick a curved ball then?" "Yes." "Well, it's the same thing with a golf club basically. "The ball starts close to where the face points bla-bla-bla ".

After absorbing my 90 seconds D-plane explanation the kid proceeded to hit 8 yard draws straight down the middle. I couldn't believe my eyes
