When you see a great ball striker hit their cuffs, you will notice that they almost always get a divotine. That’s because they are hitting DOWN In the ball, which is essential for rigid contact.
Ball hit is the product of the right low point control and is essential if you want to become a rigid ball attacker. If you can’t hit the ball and make a divotine, you have little chance of becoming a great iron player.
When you make this descending blow through the impact you are shredder The ball, which helps generate more ball and rotation speeds. On the other hand, you can hit the ball above, further and with more prohibition power – all are essential for attacking a difficult golf course.
So how does this compression happen? Top 100 Golf teacher Kevin Sprecher has more in the video below.
2 ways to compress the ball
There are two things that need to happen while swinging if you want Compress the ball. First, you have to get the axis forward in influence.
“When the shaft is relying forward, you penetrate the club,” says Sprecher. “And when applying less attic on the ball, you will compress it more.”
The other way you can compress the ball is having a downward The angle of attack on influence. This negative angle of attack-– By hitting the ball-will help you make contact with the first ball.
“So a combination of the axis shaft and the attack angle makes you really compress the ball more,” he says. “And you can actually swing more slowly and hit it farther if you compress it better.”
A good way to repeat this feeling is taking in front of the mirror and making some practical oscillations. But when you do it, stop yourself in the influence and notice where your hands are about the club. You want to see your hands in front of the club, which will take that lean angle and the negative angle of the attack.
Moreover, try catching an impact bag (or something similar) and make some shakes. With this you want the shaft to bend forward and affect the bag in front of the club. A good feeling to achieve this is the rotation of your body tightly and the extension of the arms completely at the end of the shake arch.
“If I do those two things that happen, then I can take my attack angle and the axis forward to compress the ball,” says Sprecher.
Once you have depended on those two things, you will be able to compress the ball and hit fresh shots with your handcuffs.
