The design of the golf club dictates that the grip end should be ahead of the clubhead at impact, with a forward leaning shaft. This helps you put pressure into the ball to achieve maximum distance. Golf legend Ben Hogan once said, “that’s why you marvel at the distance top-notch players can hit the ball. They actually turn a five-iron into a four-iron. The average golfer does just the opposite. He increases the loft of the blade (clubhead before the grip). He makes a 7-iron out of a 5-iron.”   Famous golf instructor Harvey Penick, author of The Little Red Book (the best-selling golf book), would give chipping lessons by having his students use their most lofted club and chip under a picnic bench that was set a few feet in front of the golfer. The golfers often thought Penick wanted them to chip it over the bench, but that wasn’t the case. He wanted his students to use the club the way it was designed to be used. Your intention should be to hit every shot solid and low or lower than you normally would. This includes your wedges. They won’t go as low as you think they will, but they will go farther, and wouldn't that be nice? Remember, adjust your distances accordingly and keep swinging!   Contact Us Drew Chapman - Head Golf Professional P: 508-222-0555 \| dchapman@massgolf.org The Links At Mass Golf, 300 W Main St, Norton, MA 02766 Unsubscribe Manage preferences |
