How to Hit Down for a Better Golf Swing

[5510kyle]

Mind having a look at my swing and letting me know if this DVD will fix my swing problam? I hit the ball way to high and lose distance because of this. Is it because i am not hitting down? I think my hands are too far behind the club(release is too early) and this adds loft. PLease check out my swing!

Thanks

When I'm supposed to hit down on the ball, does this apply for just irons, or should I use the sweeping motion for my woods/driver? Also, do I need to change my stance using the down motion technique while switching from long to short irons?? Thanks

The sensation and action are the same for all clubs. As the club gets longer, the plane flatter, and you move the ball progressively more forward, the impact will get shallower for all clubs. By time you get to the driver, which should be teed up just inside your left instep, the club approach should be flat to slightly accending. There should never be a feeling desire of having to hit up on the ball. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip.

10.000 frames per second, sure?

Positive. The camera can actually go up to 25,000 frames per second but the file size is enormous. The camera is designed to record finely tuned industrial machinery when it breaks down, as the naked eye cannot always see what is broken when the machine is working at high speeds. From there it was just a natural to adapt it to sports. Let me know if you want me to email you 10,000 frames!
