In this episode, we dive into one of the most important — yet often misunderstood — parts of the game: face strike. From swing path and lie angle to shaft flex, weight distribution and even how your body moves through impact, every small detail plays a role in how the club face meets the ball. And here’s the truth — there’s no single “magic fix.” Great ball control isn’t about one swing thought or one equipment tweak; it’s about understanding how all these elements work together to create consistent, predictable results.
The key is always to fix the root problem and pay close attention to every variable that influences your clubface. Mastering ball control starts with awareness — knowing how to adjust and refine the fundamentals that matter most. Remember: Tilt. Tuck. Target. Trigger. Each piece of that sequence plays a role in creating solid contact, controlling flight and unlocking precision.
Whether you’re struggling with inconsistency, fighting a two-way miss or chasing that next level of control, mastering face strike is the foundation for better distance control, shot shaping and scoring. The more you understand and own these variables, the more confident you’ll be — and the less you’ll rely on guesswork at impact.
