The Most Overlooked Way to Improve Your Strike

Marcus Bell from GRF Golf explains the often-overlooked importance of moving the body to control the low point of the golf swing. By using sand as a visual aid, golfers can learn to regulate arc height and strike quality through movement patterns that occur after the ball.

• Use sand as a visual feedback tool to clearly see your low point and divot depth.
• Regulate arc height by moving the body forward to accommodate steeper angles of attack.
• Focus on the 'left hemisphere' (the space after the ball) to better organize your impact position.
• The low point should be located after the ball to ensure a clean strike and proper power delivery.
• Movement patterns trained before the shot must be accessible during the swing to create the desired strike outcome.
