Golf swing path field notes — page 2
Focused observations about face-to-path, contact, alignment and practice feedback.
Continue from direction into feedback
This page continues the field-note cluster with focused explanations of matching face and path, low point, half-swing contact, target reference and practice planning. The subjects connect because they help separate what was measured from what was felt or inferred. A zero face-to-path difference can still point away from the target, and an improved contact rate does not prove which movement caused the change.

Practice notesGolf Target Line: How Alignment Changes Angle Readings
Understand the golf target line behind face and club-path readings. Rotate a shared reference and see why the angles change while face-to-path stays fixed.

Explore what happens when you add in-to-out club path while holding face angle fixed. Compare the original and new gaps without predicting hook severity.

Compare half-swing and full-swing contact rates using consistent strike definitions. Read percentage-point differences and test whether shorter-shot gains transfer.

See why zero face-to-path does not mean aimed at target. Compare matching angles with a straight-line projection while keeping ball-flight limits clear.
