Establish Club Face Control

Scratch Golf Academy breaks down how to establish club face control at impact to fix directional misses like pushes, pulls, hooks, and slices. The video highlights how arm stability and core rotation prevent chaotic club flipping, then provides a step-by-step variable punch-shot drill to calibrate face angle feel.

• Keep the arms stable and lead arm unified through impact rather than letting the club head flip past the hands.
• Drive the swing with core and hip rotation to make it easier to maintain stable arms through impact.
• Use short punch shots to build feel and control before expanding to full speed swings.
• Practice hitting deliberate open, closed, and neutral face shots on the range to build actual face-angle skill.
