Here you will see two graphics that have both the swing path and face angle at impact. The orange line shows the club path and the yellow line shows where the face points at impact. The blue line is where the golf ball starts in relation to the target. What you will notice, that on both the swings the club path into the ball is completely different. One comes from 'Outside In', the traditional thought on slicing the ball, and the other from 'Inside Out' what many believe will draw the golf ball (move the golf ball right to left). But both shots are lost to the right? This is because the face angle on both shots is aiming right at impact - ultimately they are doing the same thing. It is a known fact that face alone is responsible for 85% of the golf balls direction - that only leaves 15% for the club's path. If you think about it the golf ball only 'feels' the collision, it does not know how it got there - and that is why face angle at impact is so important. This is why offset drivers work, they help the golfer get the face of the golf club back to the ball aiming at the target, not to the right.
The clubs design is that the face is slightly behind the shaft, more like an iron. With lofts ranging from 10.5 degrees to 16 degrees in the driver, players of all skill levels can cure their slice for good. Couple this with the right golf shaft and you are onto a real winner. Playing the correct style of driver makes driving the golf ball much easier - just because it's the latest model does not mean it will cure your problems.

Introducing Golf to Ladies in Essex Sarah Bennett, PGA Head Teaching Professional hosted one of the most popular Introduction to Golf for ladies in the past three years on behalf of the Essex Ladies Golf Association and supported by the Essex Partnership at her base, Three Rivers Golf & Country Club. Sarah, a former Ladies European Tour player for 18 years has introduced in the region of 50 ladies to the game in the past 6 months with a significant number since 2010. She has been hosting her days on a regular basis for the past three years building a reputation for coaching both elite and player’s new to the game. The day was well organised and followed a specific schedule designed by Sarah to ensure maximum interaction, learning and fun which was attended by 17 ladies new to golf. Level 1 Volunteer Coaches and two of Sarah’s clients assisted on the day. One client was on hand to answer questions from the group about her experiences since Sarah introduced her to the game. She spoke about Sarah’s coaching programme and how she progressed to club membership and how she achieved her handicap. The afternoon equipped attendees with a basic understanding of the fundamentals and enabled participants to work in a team environment. The putting competition was fierce but the ladies struggled to tear themselves away from the driving range. Gasps of "wow" we're uttered as former Tour player Sarah gave a clinic as part of the day, demonstrating her ball striking and shot making skills, which have not deserted her after 18 years competing on the Ladies European, Australasian & American Tours. A number of ladies were so hooked with their "new sport" they have already jumped at the chance to attend Sarah's follow on sessions. One of the key attractions was due to the fact the introduction and delivery was hosted by a Lady Golf Professional with vast playing and coaching experience combined with excellent results in this area. Rachelle said “It was an amazing afternoon, full of smiles all round. Sarah and her team made me feel comfortable and any nerves that I had quickly disappeared. By the end of the session we had covered a range of areas within the game, Sarah has given me the confidence to continue, I can’t wait to join the ladies again for our follow on lessons, it really was a great introduction to the game” “It was a tremendous day which achieved many of my objectives, even before I arrived home I received e mails from the ladies saying how much they enjoyed themselves, which makes my job so rewarding and a part which I value immensely. I just want to give back as much as I can to the sport, I have had a number of set-backs in my career which have put me out of the game for long spells, however golf is a game you can always come back to. A little like riding a bike, but a bike is easier to drive in a straight line!” Sarah Bennett If you are interested in taking up golf or would like to progress your golf further please contact Sarah Bennett: 07719617349 or W: sarahbennettgolf.co.uk 54
