How to Square the Clubhead to The Ball | Jimmy Ballard

Jimmy Ballard explains how to square the clubhead at impact by focusing on the back of the lead hand, comparing the motion to a backhand throw. He warns against pulling the butt of the club toward the ball, which disrupts square face alignment and leads to weak strikes.

• Square the back of your lead hand through impact as if delivering a backhand stroke.
• Avoid pulling the butt of the grip toward the ball, which creates improper wrist angles.
• Delivering a square lead hand produces cleaner, more solid contact at impact.
