Working the flight of the ball

Now that the television networks can now show the ball tracking while in flight, it is now apparent that professionals do not "shoot straight." They actually work the ball left or right, intentionally and in every shot.

So from now on I will work my ball also. Usually, the common teaching to work the ball is to open or close the club face when addressing the ball. In my case, it works better if I turn my grip instead - weak or strong depending on what I want the ball to do.

Let me see if I update my previous posting.

ESSENTIALLY, THIS BACK SWING TECHNIQUE COMPLETES THE ESSENTIALS OF THE GOLF SWING.

1. Set-up: see other postings for stance, right knee warning, etc.
2. Grip strong for a draw or weak for a fade.
   
3. Backswing: Turn the head to the right like Nicklaus, look at the back of the ball, and push club head out with the left shoulder.
   
4. Flick, as hard as possible, the club head along the ground and around towards the back as far as possible and feel the weight of the arms and club loading up the left shoulder.
   
5. At the top, FURTHER TIGHTEN THE COILING MUSCLES by twisting the left shoulder until the club is felt at the top and ready for the unwinding motion.
   
6. Downswing: Release the coiled body towards the ball and around to a great finish.
   
7. NO ARMS INVOLVED IN THE HIT - JUST GRAVITY AND INERTIA EMPLOYED.

The ball flight should go left or right as intended - based on the grip employed.
