The Impact Zone

The first step to consistency and power is to have an accurate and very vivid picture of what the clubface must do to achieve the desired ball flight. If the images in our mind are incorrect or vague, good golf shots will be the exception rather than the rule.
The "Path of the Clubhead", the angle of the clubface and the angle of attack of the clubhead are the ONLY three things that directly influence the flight of the ball. Before we attempt to master any other parts of the golf swing we better have these three permanently imprinted into our golfing mind.
The optimum CLUBHEAD PATH is an arc that travels from slightly inside the target line to slightly outside the target line while it is travelling through the "impact zone".
The ANGLE OF THE CLUB FACE should be square to the arc of the clubhead path, not the target line. The clubface is only square to the intended line of flight very briefly, at impact.
Any time the ball is on the ground the ANGLE OF ATTACK must be at least slightly downward to impart the necessary backspin to get the ball airborne consistently. The steeper the angle of attack, the greater the backspin, which increases accuracy and decreases distance. The shallower the angle of attack, the less backspin created, the greater potential for distance.
Since we learn fastest using visual images, you will get better results spending most of your time looking at the pictures and only referring to the words to help you with the pictures. Imitating the pictures is more fun and a lot more effective than dissecting the words. See It, Do It!
