In golf, compressing the ball refers to hitting it in a way that compresses the ball against the clubface at impact, maximizing distance and control. This is achieved by hitting down on the ball with a descending angle of attack, ensuring the clubface is square at impact, and rotating the body effectively. Proper compression results in a powerful, penetrating ball flight and improved overall performance.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
What is compression in golf?
Compression in golf is the act of squeezing the golf ball against the clubface at impact, creating a more efficient transfer of energy.
This is achieved by hitting down on the ball with a descending angle of attack, which delofts the clubface and allows it to compress the ball against the clubface.
Proper compression is essential for maximizing distance, accuracy, and spin.
Why is compression important?
Distance:
Compressing the ball transfers more energy from the club to the ball, resulting in greater distance.
Accuracy:
Proper compression leads to a more consistent and predictable ball flight, improving accuracy.
Spin Control:
Compression affects the spin rate of the ball, allowing for more control over trajectory and stopping power.
Feel:
A compressed shot feels solid and powerful, providing better feedback to the golfer.

Speaking words of wisdom
Such wise words from amazing pro! Thanks for sharing this Rylan!
What pros say and what they actually do are two different things. Observe his swing. He clearly violates two of his own points lol.
A PGA title is just around the corner for this guy
Tommy, ask yourself how often do you fall victim to the double-cross? The Procedural Technique is a practice in which several variables must be observed. They involve changing some fundamentals and will change golf because of one word that has been misconstrued, leading to the MISCONCEPTION. This application reduces the energy needed when striking the ball and makes aligning the ball intuitive. This always requires a 'move' which, when 'working the ball', will never result in the double-cross, ensuring an intended line, enabling a confident result in ball placement necessary for consistency. Once the PT is revealed, it is easily understood, and fully learning it at the practice range, and then taking it to the course, is an exercise in confidence. It becomes knowledgeable information that is always applicable, and once known, practice becomes a thing of the past. I am hesitant to reveal this information because of the enormous amount of time and energy spent, only to repeatedly, fall short due to the MISCONCEPTION. There is a certain satisfaction knowing I'm the only one who knows this and it will reevaluate how the golf swing is taught. Oh, and for most of us, you can say goodbye to left knee injuries ¿`_
https://youtu.be/dR7Zyz5E8Ao?si=UoB7mgLAIbZhrzka This is an example of the MISCONCEPTION of the golf swing due to the misunderstanding of one word. Learn this swing, you will fall victim to the double-cross, and you will be left scratching your head each time it rears its ugly head, and it will. The PT is the secret to understanding how to avoid the MISCONCEPTION—which requires a methodology ¿`_
In the context of overcoming a MISCONCEPTION, a methodology would involve a structured and systematic approach to:
• Identifying the MISCONCEPTION.
• Understand its origins and underlying reasons.
• Develop strategies or interventions to address it.
• Implement these strategies.
• Evaluate their effectiveness in correcting the MISCONCEPTION ¿`_
Gambling is illegal and I never slice!
But your left hip does move left?

Perfect, everytime

Looked like a bit of a sway to me 😂
