Grant's Golf Tip

When hitting golf balls on the driving range dont just try to hit straight shots. Change your setup and try to learn how to work the ball. Hit hie shots,low shots, big hooks, big slices,low hooks and hie slices and vise versa. Its not so much about having a perfectly repetative golf swing. Its more about feeling what your body is doing during the golf swing. When I feel like this the ball does that. When I line up like this the ball does that. Through trial and error is how to learn to hit the straight shot( hardest shot in golf is the straight shot). Once you learn how to hook and slice the golf ball subdue the movement of the ball through the air or narrow the slice to a fade and narrow the hook to a draw. Bye doing this the straight shot will feel like another shot shape and through your trial and error you will instinctivly know ( if i set up like this and I feel like this the ball will go straight.

More Consistant Ball Striking

What do I think about when I know I have to hit a good shot ?

The main thing that I think of when needing to hit a good shot is the pace of my swing. If I try hard to let gravity do most of the work on the way down to the ball I seem to strike the ball well. So instead of lungeing to hit the ball from the top of my swing I try to let my hands natually fall from the top first than when I am about to the ball is when I really excellerate. Having a smooth transition from the top of the swing to starting the downswing is key to great ball striking.
