What to change

From 18 Jul 2026. Computed from 39 full swings of 97 logged — warm-up chips excluded, they were hiding it. One thing. Not six — six is a way of changing nothing.

Square the face to the target

23 of 33 full swings, mean +4.6°, spread 9.8°.

It causes 94% of the gap that bends your ball. The path causes 5%.

Ball finishes right of target on 26 of 39 full swings, by 16.9 yards on average.

Where the video overshoots youShort shots only, 40-50 yards. He is explicit that at full speed the club releases naturally and the checkpoints stop meaning anything. There is a subscribe plug in the first minute; no product is sold.

HOW TO FIX AN OPEN CLUB FACE AT IMPACT

Chris Ryan Golf · 6:03

Transcript read in full before it was chosen. It names your exact fault in the first sentence — the ball leaking right because the club face is open at impact — and the drill is 40-50 yard shots deliberately hit LEFT. The reason it earned the slot over three others: it spends most of its length on the two WRONG ways to make the ball go left, and one of them is swinging across the ball to the left. That is the out-to-in path you have just spent a session removing. This video actively stops you trading your fixed path for a fixed face, which is the exact trap your data is sitting in. It wants the face twisted shut instead, shaft staying where it is.

One session of work took the path from 4.2° to 1.9°. The data noticed before you did.

Is it working

face: new. First session this fault has led. You fixed the path — 4.2° to 1.9°.

Not enough data yet

2 session logged. A trend line needs at least 4 to mean anything — anything drawn now would be noise with a slope. This fills in as you play.
