Stop Hitting Fat Shots Once And For All

By Chad Jones

Ever had the problem of hitting behind the ball? If you’re like a lot of people that do try this swing tip.

First, let me help you better understand what is happening when hitting behind the ball.

chad-jones-1 [2]The error is you are not chad-jones-2 [3]transferring your weight enough to your lead leg. This tip will help you fix the problem. Tell yourself that you are going to show your playing partners all the spikes on the bottom of your trail leg shoe when you complete your golf swing. This forces you to get your weight off your trail leg on the downswing and finish your swing with the majority of your weight on your lead leg. Next time you are out warming up to play or going out to practice try this tip and you will be hitting the ball first and not the ground.
