Closed Clubface

Hi Guys
I
have just got over this problem of closed clubface on backswing, with
the help of David Leadbetter Interactive. I have the swing analysis
software installed on my laptop. After doing a video of my swing (down
the line) and installing it to the software, on the split screen mode,
with me on the left and Paul Casey on the right, I then dragged a red
line down the club shaft at ball address, on both screens, then moved
forward in the slow mode starting on the backswing (with both screens
in the lock mode) It confirmed what my coach has been telling me, as
about 1ft from the ball my clubface had shut and my swing was forward
of the red line, where on the right screen Pauls club was well behind
the line, this has been given me a very vertical swing. Now one week on
and 300 balls later on the range I have done another Vid of my self and
am very pleased that my backswing is now very close to the Paul Casey
demo backswing. I have had a lot coaching that has been good but the
Swing Analysis is just fantastic at showing if you have corrected a
fault. I am now hitting longer with a much easyer swing and a high
percentage of straight shots. Hope I have explained Ok guys.
Still cant play like Paul Casey though hehe
