We’ve all been there…hitting the ball or chunking it. Here’s one simple golf swing tip that you can take out to the course the next time you play to keep from chunking it.

One of the main reasons that golfers hit behind the ball is that they don’t trust the loft of the club to get the golf ball into air. And a lot of things will break down quickly in your swing when you try to loft the ball with your swing.

The most common mistake golfers make is that they leave their weight on the back foot and tilt their spine backwards thinking that it will help launch the ball. When your body is in this position during the downswing, you are almost always guaranteed to release your wrists too early causing the club to hit the ground before the ball.

If you haven’t already figured out the swing tip here, the first step is to trust the loft of the club.

  • The first move of your downswing is to shift your weight forward;
  • Think about swinging to a finish which means hitting through the ball and ending with your weigth forward and to the left (if you’r right-handed).
