Obstacles on a golf course are no fun. They force you to create a shot you might not normally hit. Maybe you have to keep one under a branch or curve a ball around a tree trunk. Then there are times when your best option (or perhaps only option) is to hit a high-flying iron Read more…
The goal on the downswing is to get the body and arms working together and for the low point of the swing to come after you strike the ball. Here are two drills to help with that.
To fix the fats with your short clubs, try moving the ball forward in your stance, which promotes the proper weight transfer to your front side on the downswing and the ball-then-turf contact you want.
When their side bend is insignificant or incorrect, you can pretty much bet the golfer is going to make poor contact with the ball and the flight will likely be a slice or a pull (those two mis-hits are related).
Almost all amateur golfers overestimate how far they hit each club, and as a result, almost none have a really clear idea of the gap between their clubs.
If you’re struggling with solid contact, it’s probably a low-point issue. The low point of your swing is either two far behind the ball (causing you to hit chunks) or too far ahead of the ball (causing tops and thins). There are two common mistakes that cause those to happen.
