Stop Pushing The Golf Ball Learn How to Do It
Standing on the tee, you feel relaxed and confident, until suddenly smack, you push your golf ball straight right into trouble!
You should be pleased the club head is travelling from the inside to out if like many good amateurs and professionals it’s your intention to draw the ball, but obviously not so happy that you are striking the ball too early in your swing.
To fully appreciate why you are pushing the ball you need to understand that the ball comes off the club face in a straight direction because it is square to the inside to out line it is travelling along at impact.
Sometimes you will see the ball start out straight and then curve to the right, this is due to an open club face and is known as a push slice. A push hook occurs when you close the face.
