That makes sense Thnaks for the tip!
Wow, great video. I think this definitely solves my problem. I kept hitting off of the heel and couldn't figure out why. Messing with my swing was making it worse, but it's always something so deceivingly simple in golf.
great tip
one huge benefit of not hovering the club is if you let the club rest naturally on the ground it will stop you from altering the club face, some high handicappers aim the club face to the left at address or have their hands leaning way forward at address(especially slicers) but letting the club rest naturally encourages a proper setup with the club face aim and club face loft. any golfer who has bad hands at address will struggle to let the club face rest at address. this is just from my own experience
Very nicely put – to the point and crisp!
WOW!!!. THIS helped me so much!!!! after months trying to figure out why I was not striking so well, I realize that when I what I was doing wrong because of this.!! thank you!
This is an excellent tip and just over a minute to deliver …thanks
Simple but effective thanks Ted !!!
Wow! So simple Ted, I never thought of this and I've been a heel striker for this very reason! 1:07 seconds of simple video, thanks so much SIR!
When i set up the driver I never hovered it in the hair or at the toe . I set up between the centre marker and the shaft and as a guy of 62 could then hit driver 275 yards meters ? . Now I've watched the hand position and stance it tends to go more RIGHT than LEFT .
So if the driver "raises up to catch the ball" then what stops it from doing that when you "hover the club"?
Short, concise, and perfect! Great teaching!
Good tip. And for the love of all that is holy on God's green earth – THANK YOU – for not making a 12-minute video out of a tip that can be explained in one minute!
Hovering the club promotes tension = not good
Tiger's dad said of putting "take a look, take a picture, now head down, and putt to the picture" in a certain way, we swing through our picture, as it's too fast a swing, I like the idea of hovering for this reason. Love it
