Hello! On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Bryan Pemberton from the Reserve at Spanos Park and we are talking about the golf swing and what we are going to look at here is club angle. What club angle means is simply where the club is actually pointed in a golf swing. When I have a club that is closed, if you are hitting your shots left and there are balls turning the left of your target, you are going to find a closed club face when you are having the club like this. When you actually have a club square it is going to be straight and you are going to hit your ball straight. If you have an open club face, you are going to see this position right here. One of the ways you can check this in your golf swing is when you take the club back on your back swing, the club should look like this in your swing. So that right there is squared. If your club is open, the ball is going to go right. If it is square, it is going to go straight. If it is shut, it is going to go left. You will find the one thing that is very different in this position right here is the club is very heavy. So if this club is heavy you know that this golf club is closed. If it's a little lighter this way, probably the lightest that way. When it is really light, the club face is open. So again one way to check to whether your golf club is actually square is when you get about half way in back swing it should look about like that. Not exactly up and down but almost like a 45 degree angle and that is going to be square. That's going to be open and that's going to be shut. So one way to check whether your balls are going straight or if you are having trouble hitting the ball straight, check your back swing and see what the club looks like on the back swing. You can check it in this position or you can check it at the top. When you go to the top of your swing if you see this club and it is laying flat at the top of your swing, you know that that is shut. A club should also look almost straight up and down and that's a square golf club. If it looks like that, you know the club face is open. Again feel the club and feel the weight of the club because that is going to tell you whether the golf club is shut, square or open.
