You said the guy has "good" specs - square clubface at impact and no indication
he is not coming over the top at all (club path)? Reason is, just purely from
his problem indication and stats, it makes me think he is turning the toe down
just prior to impact (which is pretty common, actually and it's harder to do
with the longer clubs) - too much roll/release too quick. If I could I'd have
him hit a few slices for me, or at least fades, and let him know to do that he
realizes, of course, he must hold the clubface open through impact - see what
happens? See if he hits a true slice or really a "push". I'm still a 3 and
was a 0 most of my adult life (lots of actual performance experience and
knowledge), and I know good and bad swing mechanics. Something else "smells"
here. Wrap the outside of his grip with about six wraps of cloth, non-clinging
gauze - see if he still does it. If that doesn't prove anything, stick about
4-5 swingweights (lead tape or pads) onto his clubhead and see if it gets worse
(impact tape the face). Quirky, indeed, but not impossible to solve. I'd have
to be certain about the swing mechanics first on this one, though. If those
turn-out O.K. then we can look elsewhere. Even if a mechanical flaw is
discovered, of course, you can then build to correct it. We are in the
business of building in club correction, but even the best club correcting
technology can't make-up for some swing flaws. I'd pay particular attention to
his ball flight - all the way out - you know, what does it do and when does it
do it? I'd also pay attention to seeing if it is always the same ball flight.

Thanks Arnie. I will try this on one of my old UST Pro Force 75 shafts.
