Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about fat shots. You know nobody likes to stand up here is stick your peg in the ground have the ball about 10 feet A it makes you mad and B it doesn't feel very good. So I want to help you to understand why you hit fat shots a fat shot are caused when the low point stays to far behind the golf ball. Usually it's a pivot flaw the weight stays back the body comes out to early glued stick in the ground.
You know a lot of times people do this once they start hitting balls fat. They'll start to kind ofpull up and when you pull up you start to hit the ball fat and thin golf shots and thats not a lot of fun. So the best thing you can do to stophitting fat shots is to put a tee up front of the golf ball just like so and all I'm going to focus on doing is moving my weight laterally so I can hit the ball and the tee off the ground. That moves low point more forward not leaving it back here and when our low point is more forward we hit the ball first and the ground second. So here we go all we can do little baby shots of the tee and when I do that fat shots will be a thing of the past.
