Your ball curves because of the gap between club path and face angle — nothing else. TrackMan measures both to the tenth of a degree, and that is why path fixes here actually hold.
Measure My Path Or call/text (308) 370-9797Modern radar settled a century-old argument: the ball starts roughly where the face points and curves away from the path. Face right of path, it slices; face left of path, it hooks. The size of the gap sets the size of the curve. Every banana slice in Nebraska is just a path several degrees left of the face — measurable, and therefore fixable.
This is also why tip-based slice fixes fail so reliably: 'strengthen your grip' closes the face but ignores the path, converting a slice into a pull or a duck hook. Fixing the actual geometry requires seeing the actual geometry.
TrackMan reads club path and face angle on every swing — we establish your true numbers, not your theory about them.
Setup, takeaway, and transition adjustments swing the path toward neutral — with instant radar feedback on every attempt.
Once the path behaves, we pair the face to it for your chosen shot shape — fade, draw, or dead straight.
Most slicers walk in with a path 4–8 degrees left and walk out of session one inside 2 degrees of neutral — with the ball flight to prove it.
Path control does not stop at 'straight.' The same measured skill that kills a slice lets you call a three-yard draw off the tee or a held-off fade into a tucked pin. Players who learn path with radar graduate from surviving their curve to choosing it.
Every lesson at Chronicle Golf in Grand Island runs TrackMan, coached by the 2015 Nebraska State Champion — the only measured path instruction in central Nebraska.
A path traveling left of the face angle at impact (for a right-hander) — commonly 4–8 degrees out-to-in. The bigger the face-to-path gap, the bigger the banana. TrackMan shows your exact gap on swing one.
No — a path too far in-to-out breeds blocks and hooks. Neutral to slightly in-to-out suits most players; the right target depends on your face control, and radar is how we pick it.
The number itself often moves several degrees within the first session, because path responds quickly to setup and intention. Making it automatic takes a practice plan — which every lesson sends home with you.
Because they treat the face or a symptom, not your measured face-to-path relationship. Without radar, you cannot know which half of the geometry is broken — so half the internet's fixes make your miss worse.
Book the $60 TrackMan swing analysis in Grand Island. Ten swings, your real path and face numbers, and the specific fix — often the same day.
Slices and hooks are geometry, and geometry yields to measurement. One session in Grand Island — improvement guaranteed or it is free.
