In this lesson, Craig Jones explains how an open clubface can create a chain reaction of compensations throughout your golf swing. When your subconscious expects the face to come through impact open, it starts finding ways to save the shot: swinging over the top, cutting across the ball, chicken-winging through impact, and preventing the clubhead from fully releasing. The result isn't just crooked shots. *You're giving up clubhead speed and distance.* You'll learn a simple "mind game" that changes what your brain expects before you even start the swing. By setting the clubface slightly left, using a closed-face grip, and dropping the trail foot back, you can create a setup that gives you confidence the face will square while freeing you to swing the club more from the inside. Craig also explains why the *whip* is so important for speed. Just like snapping a towel, the real speed comes from the end whipping past what's controlling it. In the golf swing, that means allowing the toe of the club to whip past the heel instead of leaving the clubhead trapped behind your hands. You'll also learn why you may initially hit hooks when making these changes, why that's not necessarily a bad sign, and how focusing on starting the ball slightly right of the target can help you replace years of old compensations with a more powerful inside path and full release. If you've lost distance as you've gotten older, you may not need to swing harder. You may need to *trick your brain into finally letting you swing freely.* ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – The "Mind Games" comment that started this lesson 0:41 – How your brain builds a swing around an open clubface 1:29 – Why an open face creates an over-the-top path 1:55 – How the chicken wing develops 2:17 – The two ways a chicken wing kills your power 2:43 – Why the whip creates clubhead speed 3:10 – Trick your brain into trusting the clubface 3:43 – How confidence in the face frees up your path 4:14 – What does 5–8° left actually mean? 4:33 – The 30-yard "mind game" setup 5:22 – Add the closed-face grip 6:17 – Drop the trail foot back 6:40 – Why the closed stance frees up your path 7:28 – Face left, body right 8:16 – The mind trick that can add 30 yards 8:22 – "But won't I hook it?" 9:35 – The start-line key that prevents the hook 10:00 – Swing along your foot line 10:40 – Why a push is actually a good miss 11:00 – Turning the push into a draw 11:23 – How to practice this skill 12:20 – The follow-through position that kills your power 12:45 – The skill that really matters 13:06 – Why you have to stay focused on it What You'll Learn: • How an open clubface creates compensations throughout your swing • Why your subconscious can encourage an over-the-top path • How swinging left leads to the chicken wing • Why the chicken wing costs you both energy transfer and clubhead speed • How the "whip" creates speed without simply swinging harder • How aiming the clubface 5–8° left changes what your brain expects • How to build a closed-face grip • Why dropping the trail foot back makes an inside path easier • How to create a face-left, body-right setup • Why you may initially hit hooks when changing these patterns • Why starting the ball right is a key practice goal • How to let the toe whip past the heel through impact • How to build a more powerful inside path and full release • Why staying focused on one fundamental skill produces lasting change #golflesson #golfswing #driver #golftips #golfdistance #golfpower #seniorgolf #golfdrills #effortlesspower #facefirstgolf
