The ONE Shot Every Low Handicapper Can Hit (Can You?)
Craig Jones of Face First Golf demonstrates how to master the 'low bullet draw' used by low handicappers to ensure clean compression. He explains how to eliminate the common hip stall and hand flip through a specific alignment stick drill and a parallel-to-parallel swing progression. By maintaining forward shaft lean and squaring the face early with a 'knuckles-back' feel, golfers can achieve consistent ball-first contact.
Flipping and stalling the hips causes both fat (chunked) and thin (topped) shots.
Forward shaft lean at impact is essential to expose the clubface properly to the ball for compression.
The leading edge of the club must continue working down through impact rather than working up.
Squaring the face early in the downswing (knuckles-back feel) removes the need to flip the hands to square the club at the last second.
Mastering this compressed strike improves both long iron play and short game consistency.
