Modern ballflight laws, confirmed by Trackman and other launch monitors, describe how swing path and clubface angle interact: the ball starts approximately 75-85% toward where the face is pointing at impact, and curves away from the swing path. A face that points 2° right of path produces a 2° right-to-left draw for right-handed golfers. This replaced the old 'impact = path determines start, face determines curve' theory. Understanding ballflight laws helps golfers diagnose their misses accurately — a ball that starts right and curves further right indicates an open face relative to an in-to-out path. GOATY trains the sequencing that produces predictable, repeatable swing paths.
