Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about compressing the golf ball. You know a lot of times people come in here they're working on moving into the golf hole the working on moving their weight forward but they forget that the arms had to drop the club into the ground. If you move forward and your arms shorten you'll ttend to hit alot of clicky golf shots.

So what I tell people to do is to draw a line when you draw a line what you're trying to do is you put the ball just a fraction in front that line the club rest on the line. We want to make sure the divots start on the line and forward. You really want to feel like you're driving it down and through that down and through type of feeling will help you to compress the golf ball. So remember in order to hit the ball solid you want to do 2 things you must move your weight forward and you must drive that club in the ground and when you do that downward feeling will create those compressed golf shots that everyone likes so much.
