t’s a problem I see with club golfers everywhere. In an effort to get the ball into the air, they hang back away from the golf ball, leave their weight on their trail leg which inevitably leads to major contact issues. If you regularly hit fat or thin shots, it could be the problem.
A great drill to help you get into a better impact position and through the ball is to try the step through drill. This can be done in three very simple steps: 1. Start with your feet together and get into a set up position 2. As you bring the club back to impact, take a step towards the target and finish the swing 3. Make sure to finish on your lead side facing the target This drill will help you create separation between your upper and lower body while also allowing you to transfer your weight correctly from the trail foot to your lead foot in the follow through.
