Face-to-Path Gate

10-20 min Coach-led Alignment Sticks, Impact Tape, Mid-Iron

Setup

Coach places two narrow gates downrange for a 5-yard fade and 5-yard draw. Impact tape on clubface.

Drill Instructions

Hit alternating fades and draws through the respective gates, focusing on consistent start line then curve. Coach gives face-to-path feedback between balls. Log strike location and ball flight.

Goal

Hit 4/6 shots through each gate with center contact.

Make It Easier

Widen the gates and allow straight balls that finish near them.

Coach Tip

Start it where the face points; curve it by changing path—separate the two skills.

Make It Harder

Tighten gates and require alternating shapes without practice swings.

Avoid

Aiming at the gate with a straight ball; shape it intentionally.
