- Hi everyone, you've joined me in my man cave stroke
walk in wardrobe and today we're gonna be showing you
how to get ball then turf contact and it's pretty simple.
Let's get started.
So, ball turf contact can be relatively simple to get
as long as you have the correct concepts
and you also have a few decent things going on
in your golf swing, so there's nothing worse than
hitting the ground, the golf ball duffing
your shots hitting them fat or if you get
a semi half decent contact, it's still going too high
and it's weak and it's not penetrating enough
and you're just losing distance.
So there's lots of contributing factors towards this,
you can be, I'll hit a few here you see,
you can actually hit the shots where you're
moving too much off the golf ball in the backswing.
It could be that you are hitting the
golf ball off your back foot,
again, another one hitting the ground before the ball
but I make sure I don't hit the drive here.
You could be in your downswing,
you could be swinging over the top.
If you're doing those things,
there is obviously not going to help this pure content,
that we are after because what we are after
what the best players in the world do
or even the best ball strikers do,
is they're very good at getting into that lead leg.
So they get into that lead leg,
they open their body out,
they have the shaft leant forward, somewhat.
So if you can do all of those things,
it's definitely going to help you
but it's obviously we need to go through a few things first.
So this is where we're going to hand over to Andy now,
who's going to take you through them.
But before we go, make sure,

- Okay, Piers, thank you for that,
very well explained, don't you think that Piers talked
about that really well.
Okay, let's talk about what we want to do then.
So and what this simple concept is to help you
get this ball followed by the turf,
we know where the best players are.
The best players have the weight in this lead leg,
their turn, they've got the shaft forward,
but how do we get there.
One of the things that we did recently one of
our coaching plans from our members,
is we put out this really simple concept
to help them think about using their body in a better way.
So let's explain what the best players do
and what order they do it
and this can help you get into a great impact.
So, in the backswing.
What do they do?
Well think about this.
In the backswing, there is a turn on the way back,
we don't really want a lateral shift in the downswing,
what do we see the best players do?
Well, there is an element of shift where we get the pressure
and the weight go from the right to the left leg
and from here, then we see some turn.
So we have a a turn on the way back, a shift
and then I turn back down to impact
and you can see that you combine those elements together
in the right order and this is what it's gonna look like,
you're gonna get in a really good impact position
where the weight is on the lead leg,
you created some space for the hips to clear
and that's what will help bring
the low point past the golf ball.
Now, if you think about this, if you swing back,
you've got a shift or a sway
and you do then shift all the way back down,
you're gonna hit the ground early,
you're gonna get a fat shot
or you're gonna hit the top of the golf ball.
If you turn, well, then you don't shift or the same thing,
you're gonna keep the weight to Central,
you're not gonna get the weight going this way.
Well, if you just get turn
and then you too much shift,
Well, again, that's gonna have an impact as well.
So if you combine all these three things together,
in that right order, this is what the best players do,
then you'll start to see some benefits.
So let's see a shot here,
combining that, it's gonna flare the feet as well
that will really help create some turn
and you'll see what I do here.
So turn shift turn.
And you'll see how that balance is on the way through,
now because I'm getting balanced on the way through,
that means I'm getting a real good combination of turn,
sorry, shift and then turn because now I'm in a position
where all the weight is on this foot.
I could potentially pick that up
and have a place forward but that shows me that
I'm using the hips in a great way.
Okay, let's do one more.
So again, really pay attention to what the feet are doing
a little bit of flaring
(upbeat music)
and you'll see I'm finished, unbalanced,
I've had a turn on the way back
and then I've had a shift and a rotation on the way through
and I think if you have this simple concept in your mind,
it's amazing how many people on the website have said this
has transformed their ball striking.
So we wanted to share it with you to hopefully give you
a good understanding of what is needed
and what the best players do.
So hope that helps, make sure you practice it.
Let us know you don't even need a golf club,
you can just do it with the body, turn shift
and then turn on the way through is going to massively help.
