Open Club Face

A club face position at address where the face is angled to the right of the target line (for right-handed golfers), typically used to promote fade or slice ball flight patterns. Open club face positions can be intentional for shot shaping or may result from improper grip or setup. Understanding club face positions and their effects on ball flight is crucial for shot control and consistency. Golfers sometimes use open club face positions strategically to work the ball around obstacles or to specific target areas. Proper club face control requires understanding the relationship between face angle, swing path, and resulting ball flight.
