By choking up he is becoming more upright, thus making his clubs lie angle too flat. This will lift the heel of the club up causing the toe to dig in first. This will usually leave the face open a touch. |
That's what I've always heard as well. A lie that's too flat means the toe digs, and opens the face, sending the ball right. I wonder if there's not some unconscious compensation going on, i.e., he's coming down hard with the hands trying to prevent the slice and just pulling the ball.
But if he has a SWING that is too flat for his clubs, then the heel would be digging in. I think that's what Dave was saying.
Either way, a lie board will tell the tale.
