The foundation of any good short game begins with solid bases and clean contact. But to really reduce your results, you need to master the distance control – and that comes from TOUCH.
Touch is the ability to control distance through feeling and instinct. It takes time to develop and it is a skill that you will constantly see in better players. Here are five ways you can start sharpening your own.
1. Develop your hands
Feeling begins with your hands. They control the attic, the face angle and the speed of the club – they all affect distance and direction.
Practice the movement of the club and shaft angle using only your hands and arms to better understand their role. Being aware of how delicate changes affect the ball is the first step towards true touch.
2. Let your eyes lead
Look at every player skilled during the short game practice, and you will notice that they spend most of the time looking at targetnot the ball.
Experienced, your eyes tell your hands and arms what to do. The same principle applies to the placement – your remote control Improved when your concentration is moved from the ball to the target.
3. Match your long -distance swing length
In addition to choosing the club, the length of your swing or stroke has the greatest impact on the distance. You can calibrate This through structured practice – Here you have a link to my short game calibration course. Over time, with repetition, you will begin to instinctively feel the right swing length for each stroke.
4. Feel the “Autumn” club
As your back extension lasts, you store more energy, which of course increases speed and distance. If your hands and arms stay calm, you will feel the club “fall” to the ball. This softness – combined with the natural weight of the club – increases the control of the sensation and distance.
5. Learn your release
Different models of release create different ball flights and spins. A body -driven release tends to be shallow, producing a lower flight and more roll. A release of the hand and arm, as in a real blow, releases the highest ball with a softer landing. Learning to fix between the two helps you adjust the trajectory and distance to the command.
