So I an super frustrated.  I hit a lot of balls.  Always am trying to identify the problem and thought I have “figured it out a thousand times”.  I Have a gc  quad hit lots of balls.  Have gotten some instruction but just struggle to have a club face square to my path.  I just can’t seem to keep a club face square very long and just that degree or 2 can kill ya.  Does anybody have any tips or drills that they have had a lot of success with when it comes to controlling the club face.   I just need a little more and it think it will go a long way.

Welcome to The Sand Trap! Key 5, of the 5 Simple Keys, is club face control. There are a few drills in the thread below for that. You could also post a video of your swing in the Member Swings section and folks will help.

Welcome to TST! I don't have specific advice for the club face control, but I will say that just hitting a lot of balls likely won't fix the problem, proper practice is more important than hitting a ton of balls

You’re probably doing something in your swing that makes Key #5 difficult.

    • Why wouldn't it have? It's not like you were playing it as a 145yd par 5 and made a 2 or something.  Or not like it was playing 50yds to a temporary green or something either.

    • Lazarus Irons....top notch and way cheaper than the big brands.
    • I know you guys were discussing this like a year ago. But, ironically I just had this discussion with my brother-in-law. We literally just did one of these. I'd always used the "Slow-Cook, Rest, and Sear" Method. But my bother-in-law was convinced the "5-Min/lb, 500 degree" method was the way. So, we gave it a go. I have to say it came out great.  I have a 25 year old, electric oven, GE brand... Not sure if that matters, but it came out great. ... Of course we stressed that nobody was to open the oven.   I don't make these all that often so, I'm not sure if I can fully recommend one method or the other, because without doing a Pepsi Challenge, I'd say both ways come out great. 👍😁👍
