• Low Point After the Ball: The lowest point of your swing arc should be ahead of the ball. That’s how you ensure ball-first, then turf.
• Cover the Ball: At impact, your chest should stay over the ball, not hanging back. Think “covering” the ball with your sternum.

• Place a small towel 2–3 inches behind the ball.
• Hit the ball without touching the towel — forces crisp, downward contact.

• Draw a chalk line or place tape on the ground.
• Set up so the ball is just ahead of the line.
• Hit the ball and focus on making the divot after the line.

• Make half-swings with your feet together.
• Helps improve balance and eliminates swaying or lunging at the ball.

• Hanging Back: Shifting weight to your back foot at impact causes fat or thin shots.
• Flipping: Releasing the wrists too early ruins your contact.
• Scooping: Trying to lift the ball leads to hitting behind it.

• “Brush the grass in front of the ball.”
• “Compress the ball into the turf, not scoop it into the air.”
• “Hold your finish with weight forward and chest facing target.”
