In this past article discussing golf’s previously-misunderstood ball flight laws, GOLFTEC explains the detrimental effect a misperception of these laws can have on a golfer’s efforts to improve, and how the converse can provide an effective, factual starting place for improvement.

That’s a big deal in a game long dominated by opinion. Especially when it comes to the vast majority of golfers out there who slice the ball.

So, we’re back to discuss this important topic in the video below, with GOLFTEC’s Nick Clearwater and Jon Levy exploring why the knowledge of golf ball flight laws is a big deal for every golfer. 

As GOLFTEC’s VP of Teaching Quality, Clearwater, explains, it’s not just about swing path or clubface direction, but rather a sum of the moving parts that creates specific ball flight characteristics.

For those slicers out there with an incorrect understanding of ball flight laws, this could mean all of that range time you’ve put in to fix the issue may actually be making things worse, not better. Ouch.

So learn step by step from Clearwater what needs to happen to FINALLY fix that slice of yours and hit the pretty draw you’ve always wanted!
