All Golfers Need To Watch This Golf Lesson - Will Change You
PGA Advanced Fellow Alistair Davies reveals the four essential keys to compressing the golf ball like a pro. This lesson covers proper grip placement, optimizing the swing arc for an inside path, rotating the clubface early in the downswing, and maintaining body levels to ensure a consistent low point and maximum power.
Cradle the golf club in the fingers rather than the palm to allow for correct wrist loading and unloading.
A shallower, inside-out swing plane is necessary to avoid the 'over the top' move that kills compression.
Actively rotate the lead wrist (logo to ground) during the downswing to prevent an open clubface at impact.
Maintain the height of the lead shoulder during the transition to prevent the body from widening the swing arc too early.
True compression is achieved through a combination of shaft lean, a square clubface, and hitting down with a low point after the ball.
