In this instructional video by Tropicana Entertainment, a golfer learns to improve ball compression through two simple focal points: keeping weight forward and holding the finish. The instructor demonstrates how maintaining balance for five seconds after the shot ensures the player successfully transfers their weight through the ball.
Position your weight slightly forward at setup to help compress the ball better at impact.
Move the ball slightly back in your stance to encourage a cleaner strike.
Hold your finish for a full five seconds to reinforce balance and ensure you aren't falling back.
A stable finish is an indicator that the weight transfer during the downswing was executed correctly.
