Improve Ball Striking

Fat shots, thin shots, no compression. The three faults that erase the most strokes. Here's how Rob would actually attack it.

What it actually is

Ball striking comes down to three things: low point control, face angle at impact, and swing path. Most amateurs fix path first because that's what the YouTube videos focus on. Low point is the killer — the difference between a stinger and a chunk is half an inch.

How we'd attack it

Pick one cause. Train it with a feedback tool that tells you the truth every shot. Don't add a second drill until the first one's automatic. The tools below are sorted by cause, not by brand.

Divotboard Instant Feedback

Low-point feedback, immediate. Every shot tells you where the club bottomed out. Start here if you're hitting fat or thin — don't layer more complexity on top until this one's automatic.
