Square to the Ball Position. (Changed - 12/01/2010)


The "Square to the Ball" position is when the club face remains squarely facing the ball as the back swing movement is performed.

Therefore to explain, at the address position, although the club face is squarely facing the target line it is also squarely facing the ball position.

However, as the shoulders and the arms rotate into the back swing movement whilst held as a compact unit, thus swinging the club head away from the ball, the club face automatically begins to open relative to the target line without any action on your behalf.
(To test if you are not rotating the forearms, when you reach the halfway point of the back swing movement, simply rotate the shoulders and the arms back to the original address position and the club face should return to the position of square to the target line.)

Therefore throughout the back swing movement you must keep the club face squarely facing the ball position for as long as possible not the target line, but importantly always be aware of the alignment of the club face throughout the back swing movement.
( Towards the end of the back swing movement the alignment of the club face to the ball will alter slightly, but you must continue to assume that the club face remains squarely facing the ball at all times.)

Allowing the head to rotate away from the fixed frontal position in synchronisation with the movement of the shoulder/arms-unit as you practice the action of keeping the club face square to the ball for as long as possible- this will help you to understand the correct movement.
