HOW TO POSITION THE GOLF BALL
I SHUDDER TO THINK OF THE THOUSANDS OF TIMES I HAVE SEEN IMPROPER POSITIONING OF THE GOLF BALL. AMATEURS ARE TOLD( BY PROS THAT SHOULD BE TEACHING TENNIS AND NOT GOLF) TO MOVE THE BALL FORWARD FOR THEIR WOODS AND BACK FOR THEIR IRONS. THIS GIVES AN INCORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THE GOLF BALL SHOULD BE PLAYED AS MOST AMATEURS PLAY IT WAY TO FAR FORWARD IN THEIR STANCE TO BE SOLID BALL STRIKERS.
THINK OF HOW YOU LINE UP TO A GOLF BALL AND THE STANCE THAT YOU TAKE. YOU HAVE CREATED A TRIANGLE WITH THE BOTTOM PORTION OF YOUR BODY AND AS SOON AS YOU PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER YOU HAVE NOW CREATED ANOTHER TRIANGLE WITH THE TOP HALF OF YOUR BODY. NOW YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO DO A PENDULUM SWING, THUS YOU HAVE BECOME A HUMAN PENDULUM. WHEN YOU MAKE A GOLF SWING THE CLUB HEAD WILL BOTTOM OUT A THE BOTTOM OF THE PENDULUM AND YOU WANT TO STRIKE THE BALL AS THE CLUB PASSES THE BOTTOM AND STARTS ITS UPWARD MOTION.
IF YOU PLAY THE GOLF BALL WAY UP OFF YOUR LEFT HEAL YOU WILL HAVE TO DO SOME SORT OF A WEIRD MOVE WITH YOUR BODY TO REACH IT AND THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO TO OUR GOLF SWING AS YOU WANT TO BE ACCELERATING TOWARD THE TARGET AS YOU COME THROUGH THE BALL AND NOT LEANING BACK TO REACH A BALL THAT IS TOO FAR FORWARD IN YOUR STANCE.
THE POSITION OF THE GOLF BALL IS AN ILLUSION THAT IT IS WAY FORWARD IN YOUR STANCE, IT IS ACTUALLY PLAYED FROM JUST FORWARD OF CENTER ON ALL FULL SHOTS.
HERE IS HOW IT IS ACCOMPLISHED: WHEN YOU LINE UP TO A GOLF BALL PUT IT SLIGHTLY FORWARD OF THE CENTER OF YOUR BODY AND HAVE BOTH YOUR FEET TOGETHER. NOW IF YOU HAVE A SHORT IRON IN YOUR HANDS TAKE A SMALL STEP FORWARD WITH YOUR LEFT FOOT AND A SMALL STEP BACK WITH YOUR RIGHT. (LEFTIES REMEMBER IT IS OPPOSITE). IT WILL NOW BE EVIDENT THAT THE GOLF BALL IS SLIGHTLY FORWARD OF THE CENTER OF YOUR PENDULUM AND YOU WILL STRIKE IT AS THE CLUB STARTS UP IN THE FORWARD SWING. GREAT THAT’S HOW IT SHOULD BE...NOW FOR THE ILLUSION PART.... WITH A WOOD IN YOUR HANDS AGAIN LINE UP TO THE BALL WITH IT JUST SLIGHTLY FORWARD OF THE CENTER OF YOUR BODY AND HAVE BOTH FEET TOGETHER... NOW TAKE A SMALL STEP FORWARD WITH YOUR LEFT FOOT AND A LARGE STEP BACK WITH YOUR RIGHT FOOT. IT WILL LOOK AS IF THE BALL IS BEING PLAYED OFF YOUR LEFT HEEL BUT YOU CAN READILY TELL THAT IT IS STILL IN REALITY JUST FORWARD OF THE CENTER OF YOUR BODY, WHERE IT BELONGS AND WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE SOLID CONTACT AND ACCELERATE TOWARDS THE TARGET.
IF YOU WATCH THE PROS YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY PLAY THE BALL FROM THIS JUST FORWARD OF CENTER POSITION EVEN IF THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND PHYSICS AND THINK THE ILLUSION IS THE ACTUAL BALL POSITION.
REMEMBER GOLF IS A GAME OF ANGLES AND IF YOU WANT SOLID BALL STRIKING YOU HAD BETTER PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ONE.
