Setting up to the Ball
This is a pretty good video for you newbies out there (and some vets too judging by what I see out there) on how to setup to the ball properly. Pretty simple stuff, but I see a lot of people that are just not setup to the ball properly. You’ll see a lot of swing variations out there, but the one thing in common for all the good ball strikers is good setup. If you setup incorrectly, I don’t care how good of a swing you have, you will hit a bad shot.
Before every shot I take, I check three quick things.
1. Grip - neutral, weak or strong depending on club and shot I want to hit.
2. Ball position - back, middle or front depending on club and lie
3. Balance - you shouldn’t feel any part of your body compensating, you should feel like you could stand in your setup position for 5 minutes without moving.
My picks for the Women’s British Open later tonight…
