One of those simple things is that part of the ball you are watching when you make a pace. Of course, most of us are watching THEir the ball, but which part of the ball? As it turns out, the ball part to see depends on the type of flaws you hope to correct.
Back in 1989, Golf Published a guide only. Read below for some tips on which part of the ball you should look at while swinging.
Which part of the ball should you look at?
You have heard this line over and over: “Keep your attention to the Top!” But which part of the ball? By zeroing in specific sections, you can cure mistakes and improve goal. Some examples follow.
Cure fats and peaks
If you are hitting the ball fat (the club hits the ground after the ball), try focusing on the front of the ball. It helps you keep your hands a little higher through the impact, so you hit the back of the ball cleanly.
The opposite of a thick stroke is a top – when the main edge of the club hits at or above the ball equator; A closely related fault is a “blade”, caused by the main edge that strikes slightly below the equator. To cure both mistakes, focus only on the back of the ball. This will help you force you to hit down properly, taking the club to the ball completely.
Cure hooks and slices
A chronic stroke is a sign of a path of swinging inside-out. To ease this, imagine that the ball is divided into the neighborhood, then focus on hitting the good outer quadrant with the club. This encourages an external landing.
Cutting (the most common of two shooting) is a sign of an outer swing path. To get a better track from a bit inside, focus on hitting the inner ball frame.
Add more distance
The maximum distance from tee depends on the solid club-in-top contact. The involvement of the club under the ball or its fragmentation results in a high, short, “skied” blow.
To help prevent this, imagine a nail that sticks straight to the back of the ball. Try to hit the nail squarely with the club. This encourages a flat approach, club level and good extension through influence. The result is a narrower, longer car.
