Distance Away from the Golf Ball

Grate drill that can be performed to determine the appropriate distance needed from the ball in order to get that clean hit!

Sometimes it just doesn’t matter if you have great posture, a perfect spine angle and even a steady head position. As long as you’re standing too far away from the ball, you’re going to have a hard time hitting consistent golf shots. In fact, most golfers stand too far away from the ball for reasons that make sense, such as a fear of shanking the ball off the hosel or hitting a fat shot. But what they don’t know is standing too far away can actually cause those kinds of shots by forcing the body to overcompensate and lunge toward the ball during the swing. Frankly, the kinds of bad shots often resulting from standing too far away are endless, including a shot that scrapes the top edge of the clubhead.
