Which part of the golf ball do you look at? Comment below!
WhyGolf discusses how choosing a specific focal point on the golf ball can influence swing mechanics and impact quality. Golfers can focus on the back, top, or front of the ball to refine path and contact consistency.
Choose a specific visual target on the ball (e.g., logo, dimple, back seam) rather than staring at the entire ball.
Looking at the back of the ball helps encourage clean contact and an inside-out swing path.
Looking slightly ahead or at the front of the ball can help iron players shift their low point forward to take a divot after impact.
Record your visual cues and swing thoughts so you can repeat what works best during practice.
