How can I get the golf ball to stop on the green faster? When you are around the greens especially from 100 yards and in actually getting the ball to stop on the green is a matter of getting your setup, self setup correctly and then achieving a correct angle of attack. Now a correct angle of attack to get the ball to spin and to stop is a slightly descending one, now this means the club arc bottoms out just after the ball. This is why when you see the top professionals play they take the ball first and then a nice little divot afterwards, because they are striking the ball first and then the tuff. Now there are a couple of ways you can actually make sure that you get step up and you swing correctly to ensure the slightly descending blow.

First of all if you are having a very high lofted wedge and you are around the greens you can place a little bit more weight towards the front foot about 60% and this will automatically cause the angle of attack to come steeper into the ball generating a little bit more back spin, you on the hands just slightly ahead of the ball at impact pretty much just opposite the left thigh and you want to be making sure that your chest stays on top of the ball and doesn’t drift out behind. Now if you can achieve all these positions and just have a nice flowing smooth swing – the ball will be caught first and then the tuff afterwards and you will generate a little bit more backspin. Now on a full shot if you are on a full swing you still want to generate backspin, the only thing that really changes here is rather than having weight on the front foot, the weight comes back to even. But apart from that the hands ahead just to address the swing, is nice and full – we want to try in keeping the chest just ahead of the ball at impact. And if you can get those kind of facts all together you should see a slightly a descending blow lots and lots of backspin and the ball stopping on the green. 2014-11-12
