One-Hand Face Feel

Rehearse the takeaway holding the club with the trail hand only, feeling where the clubface naturally wants to rotate.

Duration: 5 min
Reps: 3 sets of 8
Equipment: none
Level: Advanced

How to do it

Hold the club with your trail hand only, in your normal grip position.
Make slow one-handed takeaways to shaft-parallel, feeling how the face wants to rotate.
Notice the effort needed to keep the toe pointing straight up at that checkpoint.
Put both hands back on the club and repeat, applying the same control.

Goal

Build awareness of the clubface's natural rotation so both hands can control it together.

Feel cue

Feel the clubface's own weight trying to rotate the toe, and resist it enough to keep the face neutral.

Mistake to avoid

Gripping so tight with one hand that no rotation is felt at all.
