If your ball striking feels random, it’s usually not your swing—it’s missing feedback on three skills: strike location, clubface control, and ground contact. In this video, I show simple drills (no swing overhaul) that quickly improve start line, contact, and distance control—the fastest way to hit more greens and lower scores.

What you’ll learn
• How clubface controls up to ~80% of start direction (face before path)
• A dead-simple way to measure strike (foot-spray / face tape)
• How to train ball-first contact and stop fat/thin shots (divot awareness)
• Why mats lie and how to fix your practice so it transfers to the course
• A 10-minute practice routine that actually moves the needle
