STOP HITTING THE GROUND BEFORE THE BALL! 

Thanks for your video. You described exactly what happens when I don't watch out for those three faults. I've almost gotten literally insane before trying to stop doing just what you described. It's such a mental thing with me sometimes that I get a mental block and forget that the reason I'm not striking the ball properly is because of these three things. A video that I watched once was an old timer describing the turn sequence of a swing that really hit home for me. He said to slightly bend inward my left knee while rotating my hips as though they were on a vertical axis of a swinging door with my chin an left shoulder aligned with my left knee. Considering everything else with my swing was correct, I practiced that and was able to create a divot in the front of the ball. Another thing I had to remember was that at the start of my swing, my club should lean left of the ball before takeaway while cocking my wrists at the 45 degree angle of my back swing and that I shouldn't unlock my wrists until I was about 30 degrees past the ball. It allows your hips to open up more when turning on an axis of vertical alignment with my chin and left shoulder straight up and down behind the ball just so slightly. I know everyone has a description of the do's and don'ts of the swing but, by adopting his approach it has taken all the unnecessary movements out of play with my swing and given me more power. Just a comment and thanks for your video.

Some fine analysis there. Thanks for sharing!!

dear Coach ..tQ tQ tQ for the video (my 1st video of TruGolf).

Very helpful. Thank you for the clear explanation !

Hi Jon - Thanks very informative video - I believe that I have been suffering from two of the faults you mention - 2 & 3 - I think I have been dipping into the shot in an effort to get "after the ball" as one pro told me to do many years ago. Also I think I do suffer from "casting the club" in the downswing as well. Ive worked over the practice area to get rid of the "dipping" issue and now my ball striking has considerably improved by keeping my right shoulder high, if that makes sense - but I still don't take much of a divot after the ball - I seem to be "sweeping away" even with the short irons. Oh well - thanks again

Great concise explanations! I got a lot out of that- Cheers!👍

Loving your work... your video's are easy understood and very informative... thanks, looking forward to more..

Hi Jon, super great lesson!

I've seen that another reason for contact issue is if the head dips and goes towards the target in the backswing. I've had that issue. Solving that helped me

Will work on some of those faults.

Would like to get some recommendation how to overcome the failures especially for #3 (too early release)

Also left (lead) shoulder going up on downswing instead of down / forward first. My biggest fault.

Very good video easy to understand and good advice

Good stuff and nice job!

..good stuff..

Just had a shocking nine holes,started chunking the turf before the ball,after having a wash up what went wrong, I think it could of been putting to much weight on my back leg ,will take this in mind next time.

Do you also recommend aiming for a spot slightly in front of the ball as you strike it?

Hi John, Great video going to park to try this out, what's the app you use, I've put huddle into search but can find it can you put a link please

The times when I top the ball is alwys when I dont feel pressure moving to my trail foot and I have not used the

Think I do all three, think it's more heel hitting ground first, any tips
