The first thing we need to learn is the skill in how to hit the ball solid while practising, it is good to use some form of club face tape or spray (eg Athletes foot spray) by covering the club face with the face tape or spray from playing individual or a series of shots, this will highlight the strike location where the ball contacted the club face. This will become valuable information to partly help understand why the ball spins in a certain direction, but more importantly, improve the skills needed in how to hit the ball solid.
It is good practice while you’re training on the range or practice area to find a target to play too, and in between that target and yourself, find a reference point of an intermediate target point. By having an intermediate target point, you can use this as a reference point to understand the direction the ball is starting in relationship to the target. While you’re playing some shots? Observe where the ball starts in relationship to the intermediate target, this will provide you with super valuable information and the fundamental understanding of the angle of the Club face at the point of impact.
For example: for a right-handed golfer, if the ball starts left of the intermediate target, this will mean the club face is CLOSED at the point of impact, and if you noticed the extent of the ball starting left of the intermediate target this will give you more insight into how much or how little the club face is closed at impact. So knowing what we’ve just learned when the ball starts left, this would mean if the ball started right of the intermediate target, the club face will be OPEN at the point of impact and to the extent of the ball starting right of the intermediate target, this will give more inside into how much or how little the club face is open at impact. .
So these two factors will provide any golfer with a valuable understanding of club face control and strike location on the club face and really help in striking the ball solid.
