If you are standing too close to the ball after you hit it, then you have a lot of company. Tons of players all over the world are wondering why they can't hit the ball as far as the ladies tee or beyond. Even whey they make good contact. It sucks to be you!
A terrible way to play golf.
The reasons for poor distance are usually hidden in the downswing so that a professor of swingology is needed to be able to uncover the actual cause of "no distance".
If you are standing at the 150 mark and you pull out a five iron or more, and your playing partner is hitting an 8 or maybe a 7 iron, don't you wonder why that is. Is he playing with souped up irons? Or are you using a set of iron that have hickory shafts?
It could be that you don't have a move to the ball like your partners do. It could be. Couldn't it?
One of the best Golf Lessons you could ever have, is to have someone show you all the key positions in the golf swing and then you put yourself in each position so that you can feel and see what they are like for you.
Sorry, I'm not going to do that for you here. But what I am going to do is give you a very good idea of what the impact position is and then have you get in front of a mirror and get into the correct position. Then and only then will you be able to know what a great impact position should look and feel like.
For now let's get your mind around the idea of what the impact position and should not watch. If you know both sides of this position is that good and evil, for you will help sort all the crap your mind has to do.
As for the actual results of shooting, there is only a very good impact position. Do not you know that all the good players from that position in their journey towards the goal of their oscillations.
Amazing!
What follows is a description of an effect very good location.
With one-seventh of iron
Entering aexcellent set up position. The ball is in the middle of your stance or slightly back a ball width or so.
You need to be squared up from the feet up all the way to your shoulders, do that now.
Your hands will be ever so slightly ahead of the ball and your head will be ever so slightly behind the ball.
Ready ?
Now push with the inside of your right foot toward the target. Just enough so your right knee tends to move toward the target as a result of your pushing. To check the right knee at this point, it should be sort of pointed toward the ball and toward the target. Just enough so that you feel encouraged to get some weight to the left side of your body.
Allow your left hip to bump laterally a tad and turn left just a bit. Now your hands have moved a little toward the target as well.
What has not moved is your head.
The other part of your body that may have wanted to move some is your shoulders. They do move, but not in the way you may have been thinking. The shoulders will actually rock down some, the right shoulder will be somewhat lower than the left shoulder.
The position of the shoulders is a critical point in the impact position. If the left shoulder is higher than the right one, it means that you have started the downswing off plane or over the top. And you will not have been able to "rock" your shoulders slightly downward with an over the top move.
So to wrap up the shoulder position. You will find that they are rocked down some and are not exactly parallel to the target line, but very close. Very close. The left shoulder may have opened up a little in response to hands getting a little ahead of the ball at impact.
This is ok.
Your head has not moved toward the target at all. Not one inch. It may even have moved back a bit.
That's it.
To not get into a good impact position is easy. Do anything at all that is different from the above positions. Anything.
Move your head... death move
Spin your shoulder up and out......... death move
Keep your weight on top of your right leg.......... death move
Don't get your left hip out of the way............ death move
let the club head get ahead of your hands............... death move
In order for you to get into this position in a dynamic way, you must understand the down swing movements that are needed to optimize your chances of getting to impact...correctly.
This is part of the magic of a golf swing, getting dynamic. There are four magic dynamic moves that are needed to get this done. They are actually quite easy. Once you know what they are.
