Sweep the Ball

Check Points: 1) Be sure to set the clubhead flat on the ground at address. 2) Play the ball left of center towards lead heel. 3) Low sweeping takeaway. 3) Use your entire body in the swing, do not make an arms-only swing which will tend to give you a more descending blow to the ball. 4) From a good lie in a bunker, play the ball back, widen your stance and keep your legs “quiet” during the swing.
