When you are practicing working on curve control, start with a 7 iron. Using a pitching wedge or a sand wedge with more loft in the clubface doesn’t create a lot of curve.
The 7 iron has the right amount of loft where you can start hitting curves to the left or the right. It doesn’t take much face angle to see the ball curving.
The driver is the easiest club to see curve because it has the least amount of loft in the clubface. This will curve the ball to the side the most.
Mike likes to take small swings with his driver and hit fades and draws. The driver can really empathize side spin or axis tilt.
If you are working on trajectory control, Mike uses his wedge, as this is all about hitting the ball high. This is because there is not a lot of loft in the clubface.
Again, work with a 7 iron to start to master curve control.
Counterbalancing helps reduce the natural movement in the clubhead that inevitably happens while swinging golf clubs. This movement can't be stopped but can be controlled with counterbalancing. You can do this when getting fitted for your putter.

The swing plane and arc does change from club to club slightly. The driver is on the most incline compared with your wedge, which have the smallest arc.
If you set up a wedge middle iron and a driver together in you hands, you can definitely see that the arc will be different. The putter actuall...
Stop struggling with hitting the ball on the hosel and making pitch-out shots.
What causes you to hit the ball into the hosel? When you set up to the ball, your hands and arms move farther away from you, or your body moves closer, which runs the hosel into the ball.
Swinging too much from the i...
