| Re: grounding the club Sparko, Welcome to the forum. My advice would be to spend some time at the range and possible a couple of lessons to start you off in the right direction. Most golfers spend to much money on equiptment instead of lessons and hard work, there are no short cuts. Hope this helps. Ian. P.s if you feel you are doing ok then try keeping your left foot(right handed player) flat on the ground during the swing, this may stop you moving off the ball to much and stop that fat shot. |

| Re: grounding the club I only ground the club when I initially line up the club face. During the waggle I hover the sole of the club about halfway up the ball. I do this because it's difficult to get a feel of clubhead direction, at address and coming into the ball, if the sole is resting on the ground. I start my take away at this height and try to keep my head at exactly the same height throughout the swing. I worked this out for myself but it may have been done to compensate for a dipping error I think I might have. If I start the backswing with the club resting on the ground I usually duff the shot. I try to keep as still as possible and although I feel that I don't move it might not look like that to someone else. Golf is a game of fixes - something always goes wrong in a round. The secret is to indentify the problem then work out how to fix quickly so it doesn't affect the round too much. After the round go and practice. |
