Which part of the game should you watch?
You hear this line over and over again: “Please note!” But which part of the ball? By zeroing out a specific section, you can heal the malfunction and improve the shooting. Here are some examples.
Healing fat and top
If you are hitting the ball fat (the club hits the turf behind the ball), try focusing on the front of the ball. This helps to get your hands slightly higher by impact so you can hit the back of the ball cleanly.
The opposite of fat shots is the top – when the front edge of the club hits the ball or above; the closely related failure is a “blade”, which is caused by the leading edge of the impact below the equator. To cure these two problems, focus only on the back of the ball. This will help you hit the ball correctly and get the club face fully on the ball.
Healing hooks and slices
Chronic hooks are a sign of an inside-out swing path. To alleviate this, imagine the ball being split into a quarter and then focus on hitting the outside quadrant with the club. This encourages sagging outdoors.
Slicing (most common in both shots) is a sign of the external pendulum path. To get a little better off the track from a little bit inside, focus on the internal quadrant of hitting the ball.
Add more distances
The maximum distance from TEE depends on the contact of the solid club to the ball. Sweeping the club under the ball or chopping it off will result in a high, short and “ski” shot.
To prevent this, imagine a nail sticking out directly from the back of the ball. Try to hit your nails with club face nails. This encourages a flat club head approach and extends well by impact. The result is a straighter, longer drive.
