Know About Ball Flight

The face angle of the club can affect how the final ball flight.

One of the basic principles that is important to understand about controlling ball flight is this: The ball will start in the direction of the swing path and end in the direction that the clubface is angled at impact.

In other words, the target line is the direction the ball is indended to travel.  The swing path is the direction the clubhead travels during the swing.  The ball will start it's flight in the direction of the swing path's dominate force.  As the ball decelerates and the velocity drops, the spin works against the air, altering the direction of the ball flight.

The final destination depends on the type and amount of spin acting upon the ball by the face angle at impact.
