Most Golfers Ignore This… And It Ruins Their Ball Striking

PGA instructor Danny Maude explains how controlling the swing's low point transforms ball striking across every club in the bag. By making two simple setup alignment checks and using the Prop Drill, golfers can consistently move impact forward past the ball, eliminating fat and thin shots while fixing slices.

• Position your belt buckle slightly closer to your lead foot at address to start with a forward bias.
• Align your lead ankle, lead thigh, and lead shoulder in a straight line while keeping your head centered.
• Use the Prop Drill with a flared trail foot to prevent sliding backward during the backswing.
• Proper low point control shifts your divot 3+ inches past the ball for cleaner strikes and better club path.
