Why Your Ball NEVER Starts on Target (Simple Fix)

Kerrod Gray explains the fundamental ball flight laws that dictate why a ball misses its target. By demonstrating a corner-wrapping slice, he shows how to align the clubface to the start line and the body to the swing path to achieve predictable shot shapes.

• The ball starts primarily where the clubface is pointing at impact.
• The ball curves away from the direction of the swing path.
• To hit a specific shape, aim the clubface at your intended start line, not the final target.
• Adjust your body alignment to dictate the path and amount of curvature.
• Trust your normal swing once the setup is adjusted for the desired shot shape.
