Kathy Whitworth and Nancy Lopez on Solid Contact (Videos)

Yes, videos today! They're at the identical topic through legends, but they come up with slightly distinctive ways to reflect onconsideration on what you are doing at impact. First up -- Nancy Lopez.

Nancy says that it's not just about looking at the ball. Rather, it's about where on the ball you're looking. She suggests looking at the back of the ball but, more than that, looking through the back of the ball to the grass beneath. Clearly you don't have x-ray vision but the idea is to focus on a single point where the club will make contact with the ground, and that point will insure that you are hitting downward on the ball at impact.

Now right here's Kathy Whitworth's take on the equal concept. BTW, when she mentions Harvey, she's speaking approximately her trainer, the overdue Harvey Penick.

She says that is the only drill Harvey ever taught her, but it is just some other manner of considering impact. She says she tries to clip the grass simply in the front of the ball (if the ball is at the ground) or to clip the tee below the ball (if the ball is on a tee). Again, this is the equal idea that Nancy is speaking about.

Simply put, if you want to get a solid hit that gets the ball up into the air, you must hit the ball with a slightly downward motion at impact.

Yeah, I realize. It's a simple idea that you hear over and over. But in case you're consistently having a problem getting the ball up inside the air, then you definately are continually mis-hitting the ball! Devote a couple of minutes to the sort of "aiming" techniques every time you visit the range, and use it whenever you hit a shot all through a round. It might not be lengthy earlier than you are getting always stable touch.
