Okay, so, I’ve been having this issue with my golf shots lately. Sometimes I hit the ball perfectly, but other times, I either hit the ground first or I hit the ball too low. It’s super frustrating! I decided to figure out what was going on.
I started by just going to the driving range a lot. I’d hit a bunch of balls, and I started to notice a pattern. When I hit the ground before the ball, which is called a “fat” shot, it was usually because I was hitting too early. My club was hitting the lowest point of the swing before it got to the ball. It’s like I was reaching the bottom of the swing too soon. On the other hand, when I hit the ball only, without hitting any ground, I realized that my club was actually moving up when it hit the ball. These are called “thin” shots. They weren’t going where I wanted them to go, and they didn’t feel right.
Practicing My Swing
After figuring out what was happening, I started practicing my swing differently.
- I tried to focus on where my weight was during my swing. When I put too much weight on my back foot, I tended to hit fat shots. If my weight was more evenly balanced or on my front foot, I’d hit the ball better. It was kind of like shifting my weight at the right time made a big difference.
- I also worked on trying to keep the club moving down when it hit the ball. I imagined trying to hit the ball and then the ground, not the other way around. It felt weird at first, but it helped me stop hitting those thin shots.
- Also, I noticed that my left shoulder should not to the left wrist. This was a huge mistake from me.
It took a lot of practice, but I started to see some improvement. My shots were becoming more consistent. I was hitting fewer fat and thin shots and more good shots. I also started watching videos of pro golfers and paying attention to how they swung.
I’m still not perfect, but I feel like I’m on the right track. This whole experience taught me that even small changes in your swing can make a big difference. It’s all about paying attention to what your body is doing and making adjustments. And, of course, practicing a lot! Golf is definitely a game of patience and persistence.
