Master this ball-striking technique to improve your iron play beyond your wildest expectations

Controlling your low point is essential for solid ball striking in golf. Hitting a golf ball consistently on the center of the face is a challenging task due to the many moving parts in the swing. The interaction between your club and the turf is crucial when hitting your irons to ensure proper compression of the ball. To achieve this, you must have control of your low point, which is where your swing arc bottoms out during the swing. Ensuring that your low point is in the same spot on each swing is vital for hitting consistently pure shots.

According to GOLF Teacher Christy Longfield, low point is the key to compression, as it allows you to hit the ball and compress it four or five grooves above before making a divot in the ground. To practice low-point control, Longfield suggests using a sand container to create a line on the ground perpendicular to your stance. By making a swing and ensuring that your divot starts in front of the sand line, you can determine the location of your low point in your swing with each club. If the divot starts behind the line, it indicates that your low point is too far behind the ball, resulting in a chunked shot. On the other hand, if the divot starts in front of the line, it means your low point is too far in front of the ball, leading to a thinned shot.

By practicing and adjusting the location of your low point with each club, you can improve your consistency in hitting the ball in the correct place in your swing arc. Developing a consistent low point in your swing will help you hit consistently pure shots with your irons. By mastering low-point control, you can enhance your ball striking abilities and improve your overall golf game. Remember that small adjustments in your swing can make a significant difference in the outcome of your shots, so focusing on controlling your low point can lead to better results on the course.

Incorporating low-point control drills into your practice routine can help you develop a better understanding of how to compress the ball effectively with your irons. Improving your ability to control the low point of your swing can lead to more consistent and accurate shots, ultimately lowering your scores on the course. By dedicating time to mastering this fundamental aspect of ball striking, you can elevate your game and enjoy greater success on the golf course. Remember that precision and consistency are key components of solid ball striking, and focusing on controlling your low point can help you achieve these goals. So, next time you hit the range, be sure to practice managing your low point to enhance your performance on the course.
