Thin or Fat?
March 8, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: inottawa A fat shot is when the clubhead hits the ground behind the ball. A thin shot is when the sole of the club hits the top half of the ball. Both shots are “dribblers.”
Thin shots are caused by: A) Helping the ball in the air (scooping). B) Bending over too much during address (during the swing the body usually rises, therefore, if your address posture is too low your swing-arc will be raised causing a topped shot).
Fat shots are caused by: A) playing the ball too far forward – at address, play the ball back farther. B) Picking up the club to quickly. Turn your upper body going back, don't tilt it. C) Reverse pivot = body moves away from, rather than towards the target on the downswing.
