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.

      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.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      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. 😁
