Two keys to consistent ball striking: low point and arc

The instructor's model for striking any club consistently: you must return the club to the same spot every time so it lands in the same low point, and keep it tracking on a consistent arc so it falls to the ground and strikes the ball naturally. When the club comes off the arc to the inside, the hands have to manipulate and you hit a hook; when it comes over the top, you hit a slice.
