Why can't I make contact with the golf ball?

Typically, this means that the clubface does not come into direct contact with the golf ball as something has happened on the backswing, downswing or transition. A common error is that golfers tend to catch too much turf first, therefore hitting the ball too high on the face. This is known as a fat, or heavy, shot.

How to release a golf club?

You need to actively “release” the club with your hands on both sides of your swing. Stick a tee in the cap of the grip and get it to point at the ball in your backswing and at the resulting divot in your through-swing ( photo below). You’ve done it correctly when the ball gently curves left every time.

How to draw the golf ball?

Starting out with a strong grip, rather than a weak one, makes it easier to draw the ball. Rotate both hands to the right as shown below , and use this hold in all drills until you can draw the ball at will. DRILL: Point the tee. A strong grip alone won’t help you produce a draw.

How to hit a shot with a push hook?

The trick? Get your hands and arms moving down, not forward, from the top, and delay your shoulder rotation so you don’t spin out and come over the top (two automatic slice errors). This is a powerful exercise, because if you can catch the ball flush when it’s back in your stance, it means you’re rotating nicely around your center in your downswing, instead of lunging toward the target.

How to unleash your feet in tennis?

Unless you’re a Tour player or a gymnast, unleash your feet by lifting your left heel on your backswing. You’ll supersize your turn and your power with every single club in the bag.

What is the path to righteousness in golf?

The second is that the path to righteousness (i.e., lower scores) lies down the left side of the fairway, not the right.

How to avoid sweet spot contact?

Swaying destroys balance and, thus, your chances of sweet-spot contact. Try to rotate around your body’s midline (photo below).

What control your knees?

FACT: Your feet control your knees—the more you restrict them, the more you’ll restrict your lower-body action. Your knees control your hips, and your hips control your shoulders. So if you want to max out your shoulder turn (and overall swing power), you have to start with your feet.

Improve Your Posture, Improve Your Contact

Posture is one of the most neglected parts of golf – neglected by both golfers and coaches. It can be defined as the position of your body when addressing the ball, but before you have made a move to play. Naturally, if you start in the wrong position, you will end up hitting the ball off-target.

Improving Your Hook Shot Contact

To improve your contact for a hook shot, which curves from right to left, start with a normal stance and grip, but pull the right foot back a few inches. The line of your feet should aim right of the target about 10/15 yards. This will put a counter-clockwise swing on the ball to produce the hook.

Improving Your High Shot

If your high shot needs to improve, you have to start with the ball more forward than usual. At the point of impact, your spine angle should be slightly upward. If you keep your head back it will help you perfect this action. An upright swing plane will promote a higher ball flight.

Club Size and Length

Another reason for contact trouble could be that the size and length of the club is wrong for you. Try and have your clubs custom fitted. If that is too expensive, and you choose to buy your clubs off the rack, ask the assistant to show you how to test the fit in the shop.

How to swing a golf club at 12 o'clock?

TRY THIS: At address, picture a clock beneath your feet, with 12 o’clock under your left shoulder, as shown. The curved edges of the clock give you a good visual for the arc that the club continues to travel on through impact. (Yep, your swing traces a circle!) The bigger picture? Position the ball at 12:30 and make sure your swing bottoms out at high noon. It’s this “down, through and around” movement of the clubhead through impact that “squeezes” the ball for Tour-caliber contact.

How to swing down and through the ball?

Correctly swinging down and through the ball requires your arms to fully extend at impact—tough to do if you’re hunched over at address. Stand more erect with your arms hanging loose, and get tall enough so that the sole of the club hovers slightly above the turf. Imagine that the sole rests on the back of a ladybug that’s crawled up behind the ball. This easy setup change hammers home a big key: Though the club has reached the ball, it still has to keep moving downward.

What is clean contact?

How to encourage a downward strike?

To further encourage a downward strike, picture the western hemisphere overlaid on the ball. On mid- and long irons, try at contact to press the sweet spot against a location even with Brazil. On shorter irons, aim even farther south (Chile is lovely this time of year). Just avoid contact above the equator. The top of the world leads to topped shots!

Is low point of swing at impact?

Most weekend players think the low point of the swing occurs at impact. Not true. This incorrect notion is what often causes thin shots. To really pure it, the club needs to descend into impact—and then keep descending, bottoming out a few inches on the target side of the ball.
