Why Your Golf Ball ALWAYS Goes Left (It’s Not What You Think)

Matt Baker Golf explains that missing left is often caused by an over-active forearm roll through impact. By transitioning to a 'throwing' motion instead of a 'rolling' motion, golfers can reduce hand manipulation and keep the clubface square for a more neutral ball flight. This Malaska-certified approach focuses on movement-based feels to create a more repeatable and less timing-dependent swing.

• Rolling the right hand through impact creates high-sensitivity timing issues.
• A 'throwing' feel naturally reduces excessive forearm rotation.
• Keeping the face square to the swing path longer prevents the common pull or hook.
• Inconsistency is often a byproduct of trying to 'flip' or 'roll' the hands to square the face.
