Get Behind the Golf Ball

If you are struggling with the weak shot out to the right, and you are right handed, you are going to want to read this entry. Obviously if you are a lefty, and you are struggling with shots being played to the left, you will want to read this entry as well.

Envision your favorite athlete playing their respective sport. Envision this individual hitting the object involved in their sport. Lol, if the sport doesn't involve an object being hit pick a sport that does. Lets go with tennis for the time being. Lets envision Steffi Graf.

In a video that I viewed earlier, I watched Steffi Graf play a series of four shots that were incredible. As I sat and viewed this video, I couldn't help but notice how Steffi Graf was behind the ball at impact on every shot played. This fundamental applies to the golf swing as well.

If an athlete is right handed, and tends to hit shots to the right, it could be because the athlete's body is in front of the object being hit at impact. Does this mean that the sole reason for hitting the golf ball to the right is that the body is in front of it at impact? Absolutely not! However if it is, the golf ball will certainly start right unless there are extra moves.

Many aspects of a golf swing can make a right handed golfer hit the ball to the right. One may be that the golfer is aligned incorrectly. The golfer may not be releasing the golf club properly. The golfer may be making extra moves in the golf swing in an effort to make up for improper back swing techniques. With all of this being said; it is a given that if a golfer positions their body in front of the golf ball at impact, the tendency will be to start the golf ball to the right.
