Check which right miss you are hitting
For a right-handed golfer, a reasonably centered shot that starts right and curves farther right usually means the face is pointing right of the target and is open relative to the path.
That gives us a starting point. Now let’s see whether you can change it.
Check your aim first. Are you actually lined up where you think you are? Make the controllable things controllable before trying to fix the swing.
At The Tips, we can pull up face angle and club path on TrackMan. We can also check impact location, because an off-center strike can affect the flight, especially with the driver.
Try starting a short shot left
Then simplify the task. Use a short iron and make a small swing.
If everything starts right, can you intentionally start a ball left? Give yourself permission to hit that shot. You are exploring the opposite side of the pattern.
Check what happened. Did the ball start farther left? Did the face angle change? Or did you make a different-looking swing that produced the same result?
Once you can move the start direction, bring it back toward your target.
Watch the curve as well
Then pay attention to the curve. A ball that starts right and draws back is a different shot from one that starts right and keeps curving away. TrackMan helps us separate those outcomes.
Avoid trying to fix face and path with several instructions at once. Begin with a task you can understand, then use the numbers to see what changed.
As you gain control, make the swing longer. See whether you can still influence the start direction without losing contact.
The goal is to understand how to move the ball flight. If you can intentionally produce a different shot, you have somewhere useful to go when the right miss returns.
