So If I am I-O 4* my face needs to be open 2* to hit a straight shot.

That's not straight. That's a push draw.

Very true. But I was talking in terms of result not flight path. It will land/ roll to be straight to slightly left of center.

I am taking lessons from GolfTec and they are telling me I want a swing path Inside-Out at 2-6* with a club face open half of that path.

Yeah, my Golftec Pro said the same thing. During my last lesson where I was addressing my open-club face issue, my I-O path was 4*, but my clubface was about 11* (lol). He also said I needed to be at around 2* instead.

I never considered until now that my open clubface problem could be caused by where I'm ending up in my follow through. I've been following-through the wrong way for quite a while, with my arms and hips, so I will really have to work on correcting my problem (about to head out to the range now).

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please.

      Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By Elmer ·

      You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?

      Did LIV pros cross ‘etiquette’ line at Masters? 3-time major winner has thought Did LIV Golf pros cross an “etiquette” line last month at the Masters? Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington has a thought. I do not mind cursing. I rather see some emotion on the course and honest reactions to bad shots or what not. I didn't catch it being a TON of cursing in this Masters. It was not noticeable.
