Summary
When you're at the top of your backswing, where is your clubface pointing? And what does that mean for how the rest of your swing needs to work? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg discuss not just clubface control, but clubface awareness: knowing and feeling what the clubface is doing all through the swing. They suggest drills that will help you develop the feel of the clubface—a major key to helping you become a better golfer.

| 0:00.0 | So I want to talk today about feel, feeling the club face, feeling the orientation of the face |
| 0:06.8 | and what that might mean to strike, laugh, direction. |
| 0:11.9 | It's something that's very common amongst good players, even if they can't articulate it. |
| 0:17.3 | They do have a high awareness of where the face is. |
| 0:20.1 | It moves around their body and often with |
| 0:22.8 | lesser skilled golfers they have less of a feel for where it is and you you obviously get some |
| 0:28.8 | people who are kind of aware of where it should be but then can't feel to get it into those |
| 0:33.5 | positions as well as would kind of bung them in the middle Greg I know you'd be pretty aware of where your club faces as it swings around your body, |

| 0:51.3 | It's definitely something that I've probably struggled with a little bit, |
| 0:56.7 | to be fair, relative to my level of play over my career. I haven't had as good as awareness as some of my peers would have. |

| 1:14.2 | I'm glad we're talking about it because I probably haven't worked as hard on this as I should have at certain points. |

| 1:22.1 | If I swing, if I move technically well, the club face will align rather rather than the opposite of, which is, I think, |
