The Yardstick Test That Straightens Out Your Entire Game

Most golfers struggle with directional control, and it often comes from one simple issue: the clubface isn’t actually square.

In this week’s Lesson of the Week, LPGA Hall of Fame member Cindy Miller breaks down an easy way to see whether your face is square using nothing more than a yardstick and the two parallel lines at the end of your grooves.

Cindy shows how those lines reveal everything — how turning the face even slightly sends the ball left or right, and how setting the face parallel to your target line gives you the best chance at a straight shot. She also walks through how to return the club to that same square position at impact so your ball stays on line.

If you’ve been fighting pushes, pulls, or unpredictable tee shots, this simple visual cue will completely change the way you aim the club. Watch the lesson, try it on the range, and feel the difference in your next round.
