Having some real doubts over my understanding of Trackman numbers at the moment - hoping to get some info on here.

In the attached picture of Landry's swing, my understanding is that:

- he swings out to in with a -1.1 club path;

- his club face is just open to target (0.7) and is therefore 1.8 open to path

This, in my limited knowledge, should result in a ball starting very slightly left of target and cutting.  Yet the picture, curve and the spin axis show a draw...

Any idea?

Toe contact? Yes, if hit in sweet spot should fade. You can input the CHS and AA into TrackMan U tool to get spin and if spin is higher than # in photo, may verify toe hit as toe contact takes away spin. Or if you can play swing vid, check if face pops open at impact.

That's all it is, yes.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
