Do you often hit fat golf shots when you play golf?

Well, you shouldn't. Here's why (then I'll tell you how to fix it)...

A fat golf shot is simply the result of the club striking the ground behind the ball. That's easy to understand, right?

But you hardly ever see pro golfers hit fat shots, why is that?

Here's why I believe that is the case.

Professional golfers have trained themselves to swing so the low point in their swing is in front of the ball.

Studies have found that the low point in pro's swings is about 4 inches in front (towards the target) of the ball.

So if the low point for a pro is normally 4 inches in front and they do a poor swing, the low point will almost always still be in front of the ball... meaning they will hardly ever hit a fat shot.

But for most amateur golfers the low point in their swing is the ball or behind it.

So if you fat golf shots often (at least 1 fat shot per game) then you need to work on improving your low point contact, and here's how.

Get some card of some sort. A business card is good to use for this. But it could be any card about the size of a business card or slightly larger.

Then setup somewhere that you can swing and brush the ground. Get out your 7 iron and setup to an imaginary ball, but before you swing place the card so it's 2 -3 inches in front of the leading edge of your clubface. Once this is setup then simply swing and try to contact the front of the card with your golf club.

Do this over and over again until you get good at contacting the leading edge of the card. Once you can do that consistently, then repeat this but put a golf ball just before the leading edge of the card. Once you've done that then swing while still trying to contact the leading edge of the card.

You'll find when you do this that it's tough at first to get your swing to bottom out in front of the ball, but it's like any habit, it takes time to change it.

Just remember this, if you hit fat shots your current habit is to have a swing bottom that is either at the ball or behind it.

You just need to change your swing habit and when you do, like a pro, fat shots will be a thing of a past.

So go do that drill often, and you will hit better shots and lower your handicap.

A Cure For Pulled Golf Shots

Hi 

Today I have a simple but effective cure for a pull problem.

A pulled golf shot is caused by an incorrect clubhead path and clubface at impact. 

Simply, the clubhead path is travelling along a line (to the left) that is not directly going towards the target at impact. And the clubface is pointing left of your target at impact.

Now I could give you lots of technical reasons why this happens but I won't. I imagine if you have the pulls you just want to fix the problem ASAP. So here's the best way of doing that.

Grab a box. Quite a long box is good. A box like you get golf clubs in is perfect. If you can't get one like that just find the next best box you can.

Next get your 5-iron and tee up a ball. Then place your box down just outside the toe of your club. Make sure you line up your box so the edge closest to the toe of your clubface is pointing just to the right of your target.

Once setup the goal is to hit the ball and not the box. If you hit the box before the ball that means your path is coming across the ball and that's not good.


So to fix your pull problem quickly simply keep hitting balls with your box positioned just outside the toe of your club and do your best to miss the box and hit the ball. When you do this obviously the ball will be starting straight at your target. 

This drill gives great feedback on your clubhead path and helps to fix a pull quickly.

Let me know how you get on if you try this.

Also, here's something else you need to try. It's called The Long Game Mastery Program. And this program will teach you, step-by-step, how to build a tour pro quality golf swing. Go here to check it out:

Here's the biggest reason why you hit bad golf shots

Imagine this...

You're hitting the ball great.  One great shot after another.  Then, out of 
the blue you hit a bad golf shot.  Then another, and another.

So what happened here?

Did you lose your swing?

Of course you didn't.

Does your golf swing need a big overhaul?

Of course it doesn't because not long ago you were hitting great shots.

So what's the cause of going from hitting it great one second to hitting it
bad the next?

Well, the most common reason is because you had excessive tension in your 
body.


When you swing a golf club you need tension in certain muscules because
you're swinging a golf club so fast.  If you had no tension as you swung 

then the club would come flying out of your hands. 

The problem golfers face is using excessive tension in their body to hit golf
shots.  

There's good and bad news with this.

The bad news is that if you don't do anything about this habit of hitting shots
with excessive tension, then you'll always be plagued by inconsistency.

The good news, however, is that you can actually train yourself to hit golf shots
consistently with only the necessary amount of tension in the appropriate muscles.

And in this Mental Golf Mastery program {affiliate URL here) you're going to learn 
how to train yourself to do exactly that.  You'll learn that in Lesson 5 of that program.  

Plus you get two mp3 audios to teach you this very important skill.

At the moment there's a special on the Mental Golf Mastery program, which you
can find out more about here:

You need to go there right now to check it out because very soon the price is going
up significantly.  After you get it, have a great week implementing hitting golf shots 
with only the necessary amount of tension to hit them perfectly.

You'll enjoy golf so much more when you do that.

  Why Swing Changes Cause Bad Ball Striking For A Time... 

If you're making a swing change you will often hit the ball very badly.  
The reason this happens is because it takes a while for you to get used to the new 
move. But also, what is happening is that when you're "trying" hard to make a 


swing change you are using excessive tension.  This causes shots to go shorter 
than normal.  


So when you learn to hit shots with only the necessary amount of 
tension you'll hit the ball a lot further with a lot less effort.  To start doing 
that now, go here to get the Mental Golf Mastery program on special now:
