re: Whats the best way to get your hands ahead of the ball at impact? (Golf)

OP...

hitting ball, then divot, is a byproduct of about three things done correctly

1. shifting your weight at the right time in your transition from the back to downswing onto a solid lead leg

2. turning your knees/hips to start the chain reaction making sure you clear room for your upper body to come through

3. keeping the head "behind" which produces lateral side bend, allowing the rest of the body to move forward before you begin to move the club with your upper body.


that's it, really. it's got nothing to do with address, holding lag, any of that bullshite. if you do the 3 things correctly i just said, it's almost physically impossible to hit behind the ball unless it's way too far forward. you don't ever have to think about trying to hit in front of the ball.

when this finally clicks and you get it right, your ball striking becomes instantly purer, less directional spin on your irons, and lower trajectory.
