Example if path is square.

Path 0*  (in-square-in)

Face 2* open

Club face angle to target 2* right

Distance hit: 206 yards

Ball starts about 6 yards right and finishes 20 yards right.

Example if path is 2* right.

Path 2*  (in-out)

Face 4* open

Club face angle to target 2* right

Distance hit: 203 yards

Ball starts about 6 yards right and finishes 30 yards right.

The above info was type incorrectly, the data below is right.

Example if path is 2* right.

Path 2*  (in-out)

Face 2* open

Club face angle to target 4* right

Distance hit: 203 yards

Ball starts about 12 yards right and finishes 30 yards right.

Yeah out to in lol

With a wind like that I would not make any major adjustments.  I am sure it was not directly in your face.  It will move the ball and the wind will exaggerate any spin you put on it.

I would have to agree with this statement, hitting balls into a head wind definately exagerates any and all slight problems in the swing. New clubs, New swing, keep working at it. The rewards are not far.

i had another lesson today and the big problem was my top half was WAYYYYY ahead of my lowed. im moving my arms before my ankles and knees. i was working with Andrew today on breaking my knees first and i was taking 3/4 swings with a 7iron and stopping at half follow-through and hitting it 130-150 with a little draw.
