In this video you guys are to learn about compression and how to squeeze that golf ball more into the ground so you can produce more distance with the least amount of effort so there are three simple things that you can do to encourage this to happen more and to

Help you get a feeling during the next time you practice and like always if you guys enjoyed the video be sure to hit that like button and if you are new to my Channel Please Subscribe because it really helps me to create more videos like this for you guys now let’s get started

So first off is what is compression so it’s basically when the club Ed kind of hits the ball first and then the ground afterwards and that’s kind of optimal when it comes to being able to predict your distances more consistently and also to get the most amount of distance

Or efficiency out of your strike the first thing that a lot of people do when I when they come in for a lesson and they always ask me oh how can I hit more down on it um how can I get that feeling of compression and all the time I see

People that struggle with compression take it back really flat in their takeaway okay now the reason why this is so important is because when the club kind of swings back and into the inside like this the club head basically just stays very low to the ground okay so

When the club swings back and stays very low to the ground there’s not much distance okay like a vertically away from the ground away from the ball okay you can see that’s the the club head stays very low and that fects their takeway to make it quite flat and if

They do dump it under plane or get the path really too much into out then the club doesn’t have much space to kind of come vertically enough into the ball so people kind of Swing more up on it kind of like this way so it would kind of

Look like swing it low they would dump it underneath and then just kind of swing up on it like this sometimes they hit the ground really far behind the golf ball like that so for this kind of player that swings it way to the inside

The only way that they can try to find any sort of compression is to swing that club over the top which gets that club out in front and then they can kind of swing down and across the golf ball uh which is not ideal when it comes to

Controlling your flight you might be able to get some good compression like in terms of hitting down on it okay but that’s kind of not optimal the first thing I always fix first is to ensure that when they when they take the club back the club head is just a bit more in

Front of their hands okay and you can see the difference when I go back this way right first is going back this way my club just is a bit more away from the ground overall okay it still goes around me on an arc okay but it’s since it’s a

Bit higher it’s just further away from the ground so that when I come down it’s easier for the club to kind of swing into the ground but still a little bit on that in out path all right so if you are a player that gets the club to swing

Inside of the hands and kind of stays low below the hands you basically have to feel the the opposite extremes to get it in the right position so the best way I get people to think about is in this takeaway position you want to feel like

The club head is in front of your hands like say 20 20° okay and you also need to feel the club up above the hands about 20° so if you’re low and uh and behind you’re trying to feel in front and above okay so rehearsals will often look like this

You can kind of see I’m I’m kind of feeling both so when I get that club head above my hands I’m feeling this kind of hinge motion um in my wrist this kind of up and down motion here okay a lot of people when they try to feel like

The club is ahead of their hands they kind of drag the handle back like this but you can kind of still see that the club head is low relative to my hands so it’s important that you feel yes one the club is in front but also above at the

The same time okay so if you feel like you’re doing this when you go to hit the ball you you’ll probably end up being closer to this right here okay that’s going to get the club further away from the ground and then when you do are able

To swing it a little bit from the inside you’ll be able to kind of strike more downwards on that golf ball okay so now the second thing that you can focus on has to do
