You stop hitting the ground before the golf ball if you hit the ground before the golf ball and you fat your golf shots or you also thin your golf shots those two can be because of the same common mistake so your low point is too far behind the golf ball so back here
Your low point if it’s too far back here can either catch the ground heavy which is where you’re going to hit the ground before the golf ball or depending on the height of your Arc you might bottom out then your club’s going to start moving
Up and you’ll start to in that golf ball so if you do struggle with this this is a perfect golf drill for you and if you’re just looking to try and strike your hands a bit better this might also help so make sure you stay till the end
Getting that low point in front of the golf ball don’t need your club and your hands for this just need your towel so I’m going to set myself up okay and I’m going to have it in my trail hand let the um towel hang so it’s touching the
Ground basically you’ve got a bit of slack it’s not up away from the ground get it so it’s touching the ground I want you to sort of Swing half swing three4 swings basically to about here and here and I just want you to do it and see where the
Towel touches the ground now if your towel is touching the ground before the golf ball there’s the reason why you’re hitting the ground before the golf ball I need you to start trying to get the towel to hit the ground on the target side not behind the golf ball stop
Fatting and thinning by hitting the ground back here with the towel I want you to start striking your IR pure getting those crisp contact by hitting the ground in front of that golf ball when I give this drill two golfers the biggest thing that they see is the
Difference in their transfer of weight so so people that struggle with hitting the ground before the ball will slide off the golf ball or with this to and then they’ll stay back there on their back foot whereas people that strike the golf ball pure and are able to hit the
Ground with the towel in front of the golf ball is as this towel before it even reaches sort of the top of its path here they’re already starting to move back towards the target people that struggle stay back here people that do this drill really well before that
Towel gets to the top bit here they’re already moving back towards that Target and see where I’ve hit the ground there much better so it’s a completely different synchronization of your body start to reenter get that towel moving forwards to get it striking the ground in front
Of that golf ball once you’ve got the Feeling pop your towel on the ground grab your Club again and just grip the club down the bottom of the grip down here not at the top because it can get a little bit heavy few practice swings
Gripping at the bottom of the grip and I want you to get the same feels that you had with that towel and look at where you start contacting the ground after the golf ball no more back here ground hit hitting the ground before the golf ball we’re here shifting over
Getting that contact point after the ball which is what we want to strike these irons pure set yourself up and we’re going to just chip one forward half swings again okay set yourself up get the same feelings over towards that Target listen to that strike look at that shot nice little
Draw how simple as that golf tip to help you strike your irons your wedges pure every time go through that sequence towel first one hand after then both hands hit some half shots and then when you feel like you’re ready and you’re hitting the ground after the golf ball
Every time you’ve stopped hitting the ground before the golf ball add it into your full swing and you’ll start to see weight shifting differently starting to reenter better starting to get ball and turf contact to hit those nice pure iron shots let me know if that helps
Your iron play your approach play and you start hitting more greens you start striking that golf ball better I’d love to know in the comments down below thanks all for watching and again just a reminder if you’re not subscribed already and you are enjoying the content hit that big red subscribe button hit

Just what I needed after Saturdays fest of thinning shot..)))
any chance you can do a video on toe strikes….everything I hit is on the toe…can't shake it…i believe I swing too much from the inside according to uneekor I'm like 10 degrees from the inside and hitting on the toe
Nice way to sync up the swing!! 30degrees here today, headed to the basement to try this out!! Cheers Coach!!
Great info
Great vid and very useful for wiping yourself down after the water drill
So if I’m lead hand dominant (right handed playing lefty golf) can I hold the towel in my lead hand and try the same task? Would it transfer to the lead side ok?
It's a mean universe out there, you should always know where your towel is!
Coach you have the best drills ..I really enjoy you videos ..thanks
Another Real fix thank you.
I have to try this
