Jimmy Tropicana shares his most-requested tip for consistent golf: keeping your back to the target and maintaining a 'fielding a ground ball' posture. By focusing on these two simple feelings, golfers can stay in their posture and avoid the common mistake of the chest facing the target too early in the downswing.
Keep your back facing the target as long as possible at the start of the downswing to prevent swiping across the ball.
Imagine you are fielding a ground ball to maintain your posture and keep your chest toward the ground through impact.
Avoid the common mistake of 'coming up' out of your stance, which often results in thin shots or loss of power.
Combine these two thoughts for consistent ball striking across all clubs, from drivers to wedges.
