The club head digs into the ground before impact and the ball is moved only a short distance. Check the following symptoms to see where you are going wrong: Aim: Not a factor. Grip: You may be holding the club too tightly.  Strong finish position |
Ball position: The ball may be too far forward in your stance. Stance: Your hands are probably too far behind the ball as you set up. (See above). Body alignment: Not a factor. Posture: Transfer your weight so that you end up with a strong and balanced finish position. Just like you see the professionals do it. Swing: Check the top of your backswing. Check you are not 'throwing your wrists' into the forward swing which results in the club taking a wider path and hitting the ground before the ball.
