A severe, low-trajectory shot starting right of the target (for a right-handed golfer) and curving sharply further right is a common frustration. This undesirable ball flight is often caused by an excessively closed clubface at impact, combined with an out-to-in swing path. The rapid curvature and low trajectory differentiate this specific miss from a gentler fade or slice.
Understanding the causes of this errant shot is crucial for improvement. Consistently hitting such shots can significantly impact scores and overall enjoyment of the game. Analysis of swing mechanics and equipment choices often reveals the source of the problem, paving the way for targeted practice and corrective measures. Addressing this issue can lead to straighter drives, increased distance, and lower scores.
