What should I consider when assessing my lie?
—Look at the position of the ball and the type of lie you have. A good lie allows you to get the full face of the club on the ball, while a difficult lie may require adjustments in club choice and swing technique.
Why is striking the ball then the ground important?
—Striking the ball before the ground ensures a clean hit and proper loft on your fairwood shots. This helps the ball achieve optimal distance and trajectory.
How can swinging with my feet together improve my strike?
—Swinging with your feet together helps develop balance and stability in your swing. It also promotes a shallow, sweeping motion that leads to better contact with the ball.
Why is radius control important in hitting fairwoods?
—Maintaining the radius of the swing ensures consistent contact with the ball and helps generate power and accuracy. Keeping your arms extended and avoiding lifting or chopping motions improves your chances of making solid contact.
How can I develop a smooth rhythm in my swing?
—By counting 'one' and 'two' during your swing, you can establish a tempo and rhythm that prevents rushing. This helps you maintain control and make more consistent strikes.
