How COMPRESSION Changes BALL FLIGHT TRAJECTORY #golf #golftips # #golfswing

Luke Hanlon explains how proper ball compression is achieved by maintaining forward shaft lean at impact to de-loft the club. By comparing professional launch angles to amateur tendencies, he demonstrates how hitting down on the ball creates a more powerful and consistent trajectory.

• Elite ball strikers maintain forward shaft lean at impact, effectively de-lofting the iron for better compression.
• A common amateur mistake is 'flicking' the wrists at impact, which adds loft and often results in fat or inconsistent shots.
• Aim for a launch angle under 20 degrees with a 7-iron to ensure you are compressing the ball correctly.
• Adjusting your address setup to mimic a compressed impact position can make it significantly easier to achieve the correct strike.
