Totally agree with you, John! Also, I’ve read that visualization techniques can help. Picture a square club face at impact—it can mentally prepare you. Has anyone tried this approach?
I’ve used visualization before and it works! Golf is as much mental as it is physical. Just remember, progress takes time—don’t get too frustrated!

It’s crucial to maintain a relaxed grip. A death grip can cause the club face to close too early at impact. Focus on light grip pressure.
That’s a great point! I’ve noticed when I tense up, my swing goes haywire. Practicing breathing techniques can help keep you calm.
Another common mistake is improper alignment. If your body is aimed left, it can influence the club face to close. Make sure your shoulders, hips, and feet are aligned properly.
Totally agree! A good drill is to place a club on the ground parallel to your target line to check your setup.

It takes time, but focusing on the correct wrist position will help. You want to avoid flipping your wrists at impact, which can lead to an unintended closed face.
I face this issue, too! Any suggestions on specific drills to practice wrist stability?

Use slow-motion swings when practicing. This way, you can pay close attention to how your club face is positioned throughout the swing.
I love that approach! It’s like visualizing your motion in a mental movie. Who knows, maybe I’ll become the next golf legend!
Sometimes, overthinking can lead to issues. Just trust your instincts and the muscle memory you’ve built through practice.
That’s sound advice! But when hitting that slice, trusting my instincts feels like trusting a squirrel with my car keys!
