Clean Contact Starts With Ball Placement #golfswing #golftips
Me and My Golf demonstrate how moving the ball slightly forward of center in the stance can drastically improve strike quality. This simple setup adjustment encourages a proper weight shift toward the target, helps maintain lag, and ensures the club bottoms out after the ball for cleaner contact and increased speed.
Placing the ball too far back often causes golfers to stay on their trail side and release the club early.
Positioning the ball ahead of center encourages a dynamic weight shift toward the target.
Forward ball placement helps maintain shaft lean and lag through the impact zone.
A forward ball position allows the club to bottom out at the correct point—after the ball—preventing fat or duffed shots.
