So you have a heavy shot and you want to know why. You’re about to start looking at articles and tips to see if you can cure your heavy shot. Before you do that let me give you a little bit of help in understanding why a heavy shot happens. A heavy shot will happen because the bottom of your arch is too much to the right side of the ball. It’s happening too early in the swing. Alright, if you can learn to move the bottom of your swing, the lowest point of your swing more to the left, you’ll fix your heavy shot. I can’t go through all the reasons in this video why that could be happening, why the bottom of your swing is too much to the right side of the ball, but I can give you some ideas and some things to check.

I’d address one of the most common faults of not getting the bottom of your swing in the right place is ball position, perhaps the ball being too much to the left in the stance. A good swing bottom of the swing happens too early. Don’t think it’s the ball position just too much to the left. I’ve seen players with ball position extremely to the right. This causes them to compensate and hang back on their right foot, again, it creates a low point too much to the right side of the ball. Body position and set up, we’re looking for reasonably 50/50 left foot to right foot. Players who’ve got too much weight on their right foot, perhaps the upper body tilted too much away from the target, and if they don’t compensate and they stay in this position it will cause the low point to be to the right side of the ball.
