Your slice might not be a swing path problem… it could be your club face. 👀🏌️‍♂️

In this instruction from Scratch Golf Academy, golfers learn that an open club face—rather than solely an out-to-in swing path—is often the primary culprit behind a slice. The lesson focuses on mastering club face control through impact to eliminate the slice and maximize distance off the tee.

• A slice is often caused by an open club face at impact relative to your swing path.
• Focusing on face angle control helps square the clubhead naturally without compensating with swing path.
• Proper face-angle awareness leads to cleaner impact, straighter shots, and increased driving distance.
