How Far Should You Stand From The Golf Ball?! Simple Golf Tips #golfgrip #golftips

Matt Fryer explains how to find the perfect distance from the golf ball using the 'two-fist trick.' He demonstrates how standing too close or too far leads to heel and toe strikes, respectively, and provides a simple measurement for every club in the bag. By maintaining a two-fist gap between the belt buckle and the grip, golfers can achieve more consistent center-face contact.

• Standing too close causes the shaft to raise and leads to heel strikes.
• Standing too far away causes reaching and leads to toe strikes.
• Always let the club sit at its natural sole angle before measuring your distance.
• The ideal distance is found when there is exactly a two-fist gap between your belt buckle and the end of the club.
• This measurement applies consistently to every club in your bag.
