- Thus, the appropriate downward strike will be guaranteed. Additionally, it will square the face. If your hand is towards the goal or—gulp—points upward, you’ll scoop the ball off the grass rather than crushing it, according to the rules. CONDITIONING: Strike the ball with your right palm facing the ground, which is the key to compression.
What does it mean to pinch the golf ball?
Compressing the golf ball is one of the most critical parts of a successful ball striking performance. In this stroke, the clubface is just about to contact the back of the golf ball, simulating a real-life situation.
Why am I not making good contact with the golf ball?
It usually implies that something happened during the backswing, downswing, or transition that prevented the clubface from making direct contact with the golf ball. Golfers frequently make the mistake of catching too much turf initially, resulting in the ball being struck too high on the face of the club. This is referred to as a “fat” or “heavy” shot.
Why am I hitting all my irons the same distance?
The first aspect to consider is speed. All of your clubs will appear to fly the same if you do not have a significant amount of club head speed or if your club head is decelerating. Sometimes, even shorter clubs might go a long distance when this is the case. Consider the situation of a 90-year-old who is stiff and unable to move fast.
