Does it rise on impact?

If your upper body sits up when playing golf...

• The flight distance decreases
• Slices and hooks
• With irons, you will hit duffs or tops
• Early release etc.

If the forward lean angle is off when swinging, the swing trajectory will be disrupted up and down, causing the impact position to shift.

This can result in a top shot (a miss shot where the ball hits the top of the ball) or a duff shot (a miss shot where the ball hits the ground in front of the ball).

Also, since you cannot accurately hit the center of the ball, you will not be able to achieve the distance you want.

If you are not good at maintaining your forward lean angle, it can lead to a slice, which causes the ball to curve to the right, or a hook, which causes the ball to curve to the left.

The forward lean angle is also important to produce a straight trajectory. When you want to get distance or when you don't want the ball to curve because it's out of bounds on the left or right of the course, the ball will tend to extend out at impact, leading to a mis-shot. This happens for a certain reason, but unless you overcome this, you can't expect to improve your golf game.

In this article, we will introduce you to a practice method to prevent your golf swing from becoming too long and reduce mis-shots.

If you can prevent your upper body from rising, your impact will be more stable, which will increase your distance and reduce the curve of the ball. It will also help improve the bad elbow-pulling form that is common among amateur golfers, so please read this article and use it to your next round.
