The Difference Between Good and Great Ball Striking #golf #technique
JT Thomas of Performance Golf demonstrates the 'Step Drill' with Ed Reed to fix common ball-striking inconsistencies. By stepping to the right during the takeaway, golfers can prevent their upper body from leaning toward the target and create a more stable, powerful base. This technique ensures the weight moves correctly with the club for better compression and contact.
Take a small step to the right (for right-handers) as you begin your takeaway to move weight with the club.
Ensure your upper body is stacked over your trail knee at the top of the backswing, rather than leaning toward the target.
The sequence should be: move the foot first, then start the club back to sync the weight transfer.
A stable trail-side base is the primary difference between struggling with contact and 'striping' the ball.
