Face Angle vs. Face Direction | The Golf Paradigm

Q: Can the leading edge of your club face be pointed straight to the target BUT the club face itself is pointed in another direction?

A: YES

In this video I discuss how you can have a square leading edge, and believe your club face to be pointed at your target but in reality it is pointed in another direction.

When the handle of the club changes position it will alter where the club face is pointed, and ultimately the direction the ball goes. When the handle comes in too high the face points to the right of the target line and the loft of the club actually increases. If the handle comes in too low, it will cause the golfer to hit shots low and to the strong side. Here I give you a couple ways to help get your leading edge and the face direction going the same so you can hit better shots that end up at your target.

What is The Golf Paradigm (Pair-a-dime)?
The Golf Paradigm is a theory that encompasses a Whole-In-One approach to improvement. It begins with the overall paradigm; i.e. the game of golf. Followed by two parts that are always to remain in balance; i.e. the golf yin/yang – ‘improving’ and ‘enjoyment’. Helping to maintain that balance are the 5 elements of the game; the swing, club fitting, health/fitness, mental, and integration. Knowing which area to focus on and how the other areas supplement that helps to form the golfers ‘recipe’ for improvement. As the golfer improves their recipe, or what is focused on, changes and this is what allows them to reach levels of play they never thought possible. It’s not magical, but it’s close.
