The bases are vital to a strong rhythm of golf – however they are also easy to bypass. While they can be the building blocks of a stable golf game, most recreation players never give them a second opinion.
It is funny that many weekend fighters think this way, because the pros mentality is the opposite. Sessiondo a practical session begins with work at the bases. Look at a pros practice and you will see what I mean. The first 10 minutes or more when they reach the range that is being called at their bases.
Among these building blocks is the position of the ball. Recently, we’ve talked about how you can find it Accurate ball position with each club. Today, we turn to Golf teacher to see Christy Longfield for more why The ball position is so important.
Why the ball issue matters
Whenever you hit a golf ball from the ground, you are trying to compress the orba between your golf and terrain club. And because every club is another length (unless you are Bryson dechambeau), the low point of your swing will be different depending on the club.
“We want to make sure we have golf ball compression in every blow we hit,” Longfield says. “The ball position plays a big role in this.”
The oscillation has a natural bow for it, and ideally the low point of this bow will be just in front of the ball (ie, hitting down on the ball). But depending on the club, that low point will be either further back or forward in your stay. This is where to have a stable ball position becomes important.
For example, with a shorter club-like a wedge-you will want to make first ball contacts with a negative angle of attack to hit the strongest hit. In that case, the ball position is more towards the middle of your stay will help you hit the ball more. But if you are going to use the same ball position for a driver – a club you want to hit with a pOSITIVE The angle of the attack – the same ball position would not do you very well.
“You will also note that if you put your raised wedge or sand wedge up (in your stay), you need to make compensation,” Longfield says. “So practice the ball position with each club and check it to make sure it is in the optimal position.”
If you have problems making constant contacts across the bag, be sure to check your ball position. If you can get it in a stable place with each club, it will become much easier to hit solid shots.
