A simple adjustment to the backswing can lead to significant improvement in ball contact and distance. According to PGA pro John Smith, focusing on making a more balanced, controlled swing can help players avoid common ball-striking errors such as topping the ball or slicing it.
“A lot of players tend to rush their backswing, which can lead to inconsistency,” Smith said. “By taking your time and making a more gradual turn, you’ll be able to get the club in the proper position for a solid strike.”
Smith also emphasized the importance of making contact with the center of the clubface.
“If you’re hitting the ball off the toe or the heel, you’re going to lose distance and accuracy,” he said. “Make sure you’re lining up your clubface correctly and making solid contact with the sweet spot of the club.”
