Golf Simulator Ball Flight & Shot Shape Analyzer

Diagnose your ball flight (fade, draw, slice, hook) and shot shape issues on the simulator and get fixes for swing path, face angle, and setup.

‍

Fixes slices/hooks and other ball flight struggles.

‍

We ask for dominant ball flight, simulator brand, club type, face to path, attack angle, swing path, and clubhead speed because these diagnose flight laws (D-Plane). These inputs provide fixes. Limitation: the tool uses standard flight laws and may not account for individual swing quirks; professional instruction recommended.

Golf Simulator Ball Flight Diagnosis

Selected Parameters

• Ball Flight Shape: Slice
• Simulator Type: Uneekor
• Club Type: Iron
• Face Angle: Open to Path
• Grip: Neutral
• Stance: Neutral
• Swing Speed: 90-100 mph

Diagnosis of Slice

A slice occurs when the ball curves significantly to the right (for a right-handed golfer) due to a combination of an open clubface relative to the swing path at impact. This can be caused by several factors:

1. Path: The swing path may be cutting across the ball, promoting a left-to-right spin.
2. Face Angle: An open clubface at impact exacerbates the slice.
3. Grip: A neutral grip might not be conducive to closing the clubface through impact.
4. Stance: While neutral stances are common, they can sometimes lead to improper body alignment, contributing to a slice.

Understanding D-Plane Principles

The D-Plane is a concept that explains how the angle of the clubface and the path of the club interact to produce ball flight. In simple terms:

• Face Angle: The direction the clubface is pointing at impact.
• Swing Path: The direction the clubhead is moving at impact.
• The difference between these two determines the initial direction of the ball and the spin imparted, which influences the curvature.

For a slice:

• The face angle is open to the swing path, leading to rightward spin and curvature.

Recommended Fixes

1. Adjust Clubface Angle at Impact
   • Focus on closing the clubface slightly through impact to reduce the open face effect.
2. Modify Swing Path
   • Work on an inside-out swing path to help align the clubface with the path.
3. Grip Adjustment
   • Consider strengthening your grip slightly (rotating hands clockwise) to help close the clubface at impact.
4. Stance Alignment
   • Ensure your feet and shoulders are aimed parallel to the target line to promote a straighter swing path.

Correction Drills

Drill 1: Toe-Up Drill

• Objective: Promote a better swing path and clubface control.
• Steps:
  1. Set up a tee about 3 feet in front of you on the target line.
  2. Practice swinging with the clubface pointing towards the sky at the top of your backswing.
  3. Focus on bringing the club down with an inside path to hit the tee.

Drill 2: Impact Bag Drill

• Objective: Develop proper impact position with a closed face.
• Steps:
  1. Get an impact bag or a similar object.
  2. Set up as if you are addressing the ball.
  3. Swing and strike the bag, ensuring the clubface is square or slightly closed at impact.

Summary

To combat a slice, focus on adjusting your clubface angle, modifying your swing path, and making slight changes to your grip and stance. Utilizing the D-Plane principles will help you understand the interaction between swing dynamics and ball flight.
