It all starts when the clubhead hits the ground before the ball and bounces into the center of the ball. The ball squirts out and either remains in the rough or rolls slightly onto the green. This type of dubbed shot is the result of trying to help the ball into the air. The causes of this type of shot are: A) Too much weight on the rear foot. B) Hands positioned behind the ball at address. C) Ball too far forward.
Corrective Action: 1) Position hands in front of the ball at address. 2) Make sure your weight is primarily on your lead foot. 3) Maintain light grip pressure.
