How you can stop hitting behind the golf ball

If you watch any great iron player hit balls, you will notice that they strike the ball first and then the ground.

Many average players, on the other hand, tend to hit behind the ball, which makes solid contact virtually impossible to achieve.

In this video segment, SwingFix instructor Matt Reagan is going to explain why you might be hitting behind the ball and give you a great drill that you can use to eliminate that problem and improve your ball-striking.

If you’re thinking about taking a SwingFix lesson, there’s a good chance that you’re interested in getting to know more about the various instructors you’re considering.

Many SwingFix instructors are quite active on Twitter, and they even interact with each other at times.

So in an effort to further introduce our audience to our teaching professionals, we'll scour the Twittersphere each week for the best instructor Tweets of the Week.

And, of course, feel free to follow these instructors yourself.

Jamie DeKeuster - ‏@JDeKeuster111 12 May: When it's a tight match, what do you think about to keep you from being nervous? #askthepro Focus on target & stick to routine

Jason Sutton - ‏@golfgurutv 12 May: @mikefaygolf start with half of the ball above the driver. Check impact location frequently and adjust accordingly #askthepro

Bill Schmedes III - ‏@BS3Golf 12 May: If I was Sergio I'd stick to the European tour. The fans in the states are horrible to him. Wouldn't be worth the headache for me. #players

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf 14 May: Pool players plan their shots ahead. Good golfers do too. Figure out where you want to play your next shot from and play to there. #golf tip

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf  17 May: Match your waggle to your swing. Your waggle can be a rehearsal of the first part of your backswing. It also reduces tension. #golf tip

Brandon Roby - ‏@brobypga 17 May: My job is great when I can teach an 85 year old player to hit it far like he used to:) #growingthegameofgolf

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf 19 May: In a bunker, for a good lie, open the face. If the ball is sitting down, square the face and if it is buried, close the face. #golf tip

Tilt shoulders to improve your driver setup

No matter what your swing looks like, there’s no reason that you can’t have good fundamentals.

It’s equally important to understand that poor fundamentals, and not your swing, can be the cause of bad shots.

In this video segment, SwingFix instructor Bill Schmedes III is going to explain why your setup with the driver might be causing that dreaded slice you’re hitting.

And he’ll also show you how you can set up properly and straighten out your ball flight.
