Want to compress the golf ball like a great ball striker? ⛳️🔥

In this instruction from Scratch Golf Academy, learn how to properly compress the golf ball for improved contact and distance. By shallowing the downswing, engaging the core, creating lag, and de-lofting the clubhead through impact, golfers can eliminate weak hits and achieve a flushed ball flight.

• Shallow out your downswing to create a sweeping, solid attack angle into the ball.
• Engage your core muscles through rotation rather than flipping your hands at impact.
• Maintain wrist lag into impact to properly de-loft the clubface.
• Combine lag and body turn to achieve solid ball compression and added distance.
