Full Swing · Feel

Feel the clubface closing on the way back

When wrist cock opens the clubface and forces a compensating flip, the instructor gives a feel of closing rather than opening the face. During the backswing, sense the face moving from twelve toward ten or eleven o'clock so it is already a little more closed before the very short downswing.

Why this context matters

Lewis opened the face and then used a flicking compensation to close it.
