How to Hit the Golf Ball When it is Positioned Above Your Feet
You get to your ball and you see that it lies above your feet at address. You smile to yourself and think of the fantastic shot you are about to play. Why, because this is considered to be one of the easiest shots in golf. If you follow the steps below, you will not hit the ground behind the ball anymore, and this shot will become your favourite shot in golf. So here we go.
Step 1: With this kind of shot the ball will always tend to draw so make sure that you compensate for this by aiming a little to the right.
Step 2: If you are one of those golfers that always seems to hit the ball a bit fat when it is above your feet, there is a very simple fix. Make sure that you are standing taller and straighter than your normal stance.
Step 4: This is one of the most important things to remember for this shot. Do not bend your knees. You should stand as straight as you possibly can.
Step 5: The other most important thing to remember is that the club will always want to swing flatter and around your body, which is exactly the type of swing you want for this shot. Do not try to make a normal swing as you will not get a good result.
That is all there is to it. If you can remember to follow these steps then this should become one of your favourite shots in golf. I hope this helped.
