What Is Necessary To Perfect Distance Control Off The Tee?
Distance control is an important element in golf. Many players admit they have issues establishing control of distance. Of course it helps to practice your swing methods, but there are aspects of your technique you can change or work to improve. Distance control is important since it can help or hurt your score. For some players they are experiencing issues with putting and chipping. There are drills for both play methods to help focus on areas to see improvement. The type of iron used during play also plays a role in establishing proper distance control. Here are some tips to help understand the significance of distance control and why it needs to be perfected.
Club Length and Control
Players should have an idea of how to control the club they are using. This is because some clubs have the ability to hit the ball further than others. The type of club used will help determine how far you can hit. For example, a pitching wedge may offer a good amount of coverage in distance with about 100 yards. You may consider changing to a driver 3 wood or a hybrid to make up the difference of a longer shot that is more than 100 yards. How you swing with the club chosen is important but something to consider when keeping plays in perspective.
Adjustments to Swing Method
When understanding swing method, think about the face of a clock. When you swing your body should have good position and posture. Your head should be at 12 o’clock and your ball should be at 6 o’clock. Your stance should include your feet being spread and placed between 5 and 7 o’clock. As you position your club when you start the swing it should be behind the ball at 6 o’clock. This is your standard position. Depending on how far you want to hit the ball, you would swing the clubhead back and forth with the head stopping at a certain time. For shorter distances you may complete a swing between 4 and 8 o’clock for example.
Drills and a Wedge Chart
To help track progress consider utilizing practice drills to help work on swing performance. There are illustrations by other golfers that include a clock chart or pictograph to give a better idea of how your form and accuracy should be when swinging.
