Why Your Golf Swing Feels Inconsistent. It’s Not What You Think
Piers Ward from Meandmygolf analyzes student Mike's two-way driving miss (hooks and blocks). Using launch monitor and Swing Coach app data, Piers proves that Mike's club path is surprisingly consistent, but a steep downswing forces his body to stall and tilt backward, flipping the club face at impact. Piers introduces 'The Cable Drill' to help drive rotation from the ground up, stabilizing the club face through impact.
A two-way miss off the tee is frequently caused by club face instability rather than inconsistent swing path.
Steep downswings cause golfers to stall rotation and tilt back, leading to hand-flipping at impact.
Ground forces drive body rotation—focus on pulling through from the feet rather than flipping with the hands.
Mastering mini swings with lower lead-shoulder elevation stabilizes the face before building up to full swings.
