[O.B.Left]

Playing a slice by moving the ball forward of Low Point presents a problem in that the club will hit the ground prior to hitting the ball ....... unless the ball sits higher than ground level . LIke on a tee . This is a fairly common thing actually . Especially for guys wanting a high , low spinning tee ball . You set the ball forward in the stance , ahead of low point, you square the face to the plane line /target line (some drivers are made to sit like this these days) and swing away. But encounter a fade tendency due to the divergence in face and path . The clubhead post low point is moving UP , IN and Forward after all.

My Titleist D3 which i love seems designed to set up like this. For balls played at low point the face opens and it does seem to have a slight push/ fade tendency. I just go with it for the most part. But can add more out to the path when I need it.

To hit a slice with an iron played off the ground you create the divergence between face and path required by pointing the Impact plane line sufficiently left . Plane Line Rotation.
