Divots
Nothing can be more frustrating than chunking the ball over and over, especially when your buddies are already on the green. Even the occasional chunk can shake your momentum, so it's better if it never happens at all.
Today's topic stems from two messages I received that were very similar in content. Both gentlemen that wrote in said they are having trouble losing balls to the right. The first thing I would have them check is their alignment, but they both think that's not the problem.
If you're taking a big divot every time you've got an iron in your hand, you're going to start feeling the physical effects sooner than later. Taking a shallow divot not only means better contact with the ball, but it will save your wrists, elbows, and shoulders from breaking down.
Whenever I discuss the impact position, I usually include my thought process of swinging up to the T-Finish. However, that doesn't mean I'm hitting up on the ball. It's merely a thought I use to keep me from moving my whole body forward during the transition.
