3 The Pro’s Corner
By David Knighton, Head Golf pointed way out right. Professional Quick Drills Swaying on the golf swing is never Once you've mastered the setup and ball positioning, you good. Any good golfer or teaching can head out to the range and work on improving your ball professional will tell you that too much striking. A great way to do this is to push a tee all the way movement of the body towards or away into the ground about one inch behind your golf ball, and to from the target on the back-swing is a recipe make a full swing as you normally would. Now compare for inconsistent ball striking. What swaying does is shift where the divot is in relation to the tee in the ground. A the arc of your swing so that the low point is either in front good strike should result in the space between divot and tee of or behind your ball, thus when you complete the being just more than one inch and fatter strike will result in downswing you either end up thinning the ball or hitting a shorter and shorter space. Sometimes it even helps to straight behind it. Another common cause of fat shots is pick out a specific point or even dimple on the back of the setting up too low. This is typically seen when your left arm ball and aim to hit that little dimple so that you force (for right hand players) remains too bent through the back- yourself to hit the ball first and play through the ball. swing, so that when you initiate the downswing and the Give some of these tips a try and see if your ball striking weight of club straightens out your arm, the club bottoms improves. If not, please feel free to ask me for any help. See out well before the ball. It's not uncommon to see begin- you next month on the practice tee. ners compensate for this movement by 'standing up' at impact, but this response tends to enhance the problem, as it leads to even more movement in the swing and is guaranteed to result in more inconsistent ball striking. Following on from the issue at setup, very new golfers tend to think that they need to bend their legs a lot when hitting the ball. We've all seen someone at the driving range who is basically squatting because they are bending their knees too much. In truth, a correct setup should have very little bend in the knees – just enough to be visible – as it does help to create some power and allow the body to rotate. The final beginners blunder that results in hitting the ball fat is incorrect positioning of the feet. If your right foot is pointing to the right, when you make your back-swing your weight will naturally shift towards your right-hand side and it suddenly becomes hard for you to shift it back to the left on the downswing, resulting in hitting the ground before the ball. Quick Fixes Fortunately for all, most of the causes of fat shots revolve around the setup, so fixing them involves changing your static position when addressing the ball and not necessarily your swing itself. A good setup will have the ball placed somewhere between the inside of your left heel and the midpoint between your two feet, but the exact position will always depend on the club you are hitting. Take some time to experiment with varying ball positions for your different clubs and try to keep these positions constant when you're out on the course. A quick fix for when you're hitting it fat during a round is to shift your ball back slightly in your stance so that you are more likely to strike it before the ground. Next you want to make sure your feet are not spread too far apart and that your knees are slightly kinked and your torso slightly bent over in a position that feels comfortable for you and that allows you to rotate through the ball. Finally, check that your right root isn't
