Hit the Sweet Spot

HIT THE SWEET SPOT Swing the shaft to 2:00 Imagine a clock off to your right with the center of the face even with your shoulders. Make a full backswing, hold it and check what part of the clock the shaft crosses. Solid — When the shaft crosses 2:00, you're correctly on plane and set to deliver a centered strike.

Fat — If the shaft crosses anywhere later than 2:00, your swing is too flat and the clubface is closed. Expect a lot of fat shots.

Weak — If the shaft crosses anywhere earlier than 2:00, your swing is too steep and your clubface is open. Fore, right!
