The short game is where the rounds are stored (or lost), but two of the most common mistakes, wedge shots and skulls, can turn a routine up and down into a trio in no time. The good news is that you do not have to rebuild your swing to fix the piece or shoot in the skull. There are some foundations that you can include or adjust even when you are in the Golf Course. Here are some drills, configuration tweaks and mind shifts that will help you take control of your short game.
If you are colliding with wedge shots, start here
The point occurs when the club digs into the ground BEFORE the ball. Your low point is far from the ball and, most of the time, the ball progresses a few meters and you have stuck, having to hit again. The point is frustrating and feels like a complete loss of a stroke.
What causes it:
- Top too far forward in your attitude
- Weight that shifts too much while swinging
- Too much in front of the bent shaft in the influence
- Not using the wedge swelling properly
- A rhythm that is very steep on the ground
How to fix it:
The first step is to make sure your ball position is correct. Place it in the center of your stay or slightly back from the center. Leave about 60 percent of your weight on the front leg and hold this position across. Do not push your hands too far forward and get some practical oscillations feeling as if you are washing the ground, not digging into it.
Exercise: Drill together
This is one of the simplest ways to train the best balance and control of low points.
- Put your feet together and the ball from your back finger.
- Lean a little on your side of the lead.
- Make short, controlled shakes while staying balanced.
- Focus on cutting the ground subsequently the ball.
Dry line drill (with foot spray or foam line)
Immediate visual reaction can be useful when trying to identify the patterns in your golf game. Some players love the foam line or the spray of the foot. Personally, I find that using a towel on Earth is just as effective.
- Sprinkle a line In the grass using the athlete’s leg spray, chalk or stretch paint.
- Place the ball slightly in front of the line (toward the target).
- Get a pace. Your Divot should start immediately after the line.
- If you are taking the ground IN Line or after it, your low point is too early. Adjust the configuration, lower the shaft wickedness forward and make sure your weight is on your lead leg.
If you are getting on stage the wedge shooting, start here
Sometimes, sculla or diluted wedge shots are even worse than pieces. You send the ball flying through green and it could leave you in a worse position than you were.
When you try to avoid excavations, start getting up, bending or fliping the club in the impact. Contact with BETWEEN of the ball will not help you improve the feeling and accuracy around the greens.
What causes it:
- Relying through the impact
- Trying to raise the ball in the air
- Loss of trust and slowdown
- Playing the ball too far ahead
How to fix it:
Start by inserting the ball into the center or just a little back of the center in your stay. Next, make sure 60 percent of your weight is on your lead side. Let your chest and shoulders move the swinging; Do not use the wrists and hands to try and roll this stroke on the green.
Most importantly, do not lose your confidence in these shots. Stay dedicated.
Hand -hand drill
Keeping the club with only your trail hand forces you to use more accurate muscles in your golf swing. This is a great drill for adjusting your wrist rolling and forcing your body to do more from work.
- Keep the club with only your trail hand.
- Place your lead hand lightly on your trail bicep.
- Rotate your chest to get the club back and through.
- Let the club slide under the ball – without pieces or flip. Repeat until you are safe.
Trail handle stretching (using handle or tee)
If you have a habit of fliping the wrist in the impact, this trail joint stretch workout is a good choice. You can use a credit card or even a tee on your glove to reduce this feeling. Start slowly here and learn to maintain that angle of the lead arm through the impact.
How to do:
- Tuck a tee or credit card under your trail hand clock or handle belt.
- Make half -stand swinging while keeping the card or tee from falling out.
- This holds the ankle corner and prevents scratches, which can cause thin shots.
When you suspect, simplify
If you feel nervous or lie is tight, do not force the wedge. Grab a hybrid, putter or even a road tree and slam the ball along the ground. Putter is the safest club to hit when you are just out of green. If you have the option, use putter.
Final thoughts
Short game errors occur. If you can recognize why You are colliding or making the wedge shooting skulls, you can start making smarter, safer oscillations.
