Jason Baile's Method: Check Before Correcting
Jason Baile looks for the cause before correcting the swing. Many amateur golfers have their hands positioned correctly and a clubface that appears square to the ground, but their grip doesn’t match their clubface. His test—holding the club up in front of you for a few seconds—often reveals a closed clubface, which is then compensated for by other flaws.
