Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about thin golf shots. You know there's an old adage in golf it's called thin to win which basically means that if you hit the ball thin like that. It tends to dart it tends to roll it has to get closer to your target so obviously it's far better to hit the ball thin rather than fat when you stick your ground. What I'd like to help you to understand is why you hit golf shots thin. Whenever a golf shot is thin usually there is some sort of pulling up some sort of helping the golf ball up in the air, and when you help the golf ball up in the air here is what happens to the club.

The club descends has starts to flatten out in is nesting hit the ball and it stays low to the ground hit the ball back out and it goes like this. Descends flattens out stays low and as it starts to move back up you hit the equator of the golf ball or you hit the top of it and rolls along the ground. So the real key to stop hitting thin shots is to focus in on having long arms through impact. If the weight is moving forward you have long arms through impact. You're going to go down through it and you're not going to chicken arm it chicken wing it and pull up and flip at it if you do that you won't hit the ball thin. So always remember make sure you have those long arms post-impact and you won't hit it thin.
