  1. Great drill this and one Rick taught me in a lesson. Use it at the range or
    when I realise I am not striking very well. Soon brings it back, and the
    feel off the clubface is great. Another tip (maybe if on grass) is to peg
    a scorecard / wrapper etc a few inches into the ground behind the ball and
    then try to hit the all without making contact with the scorecard, wrapper
    etc.

  2. Glad iv watched this. I thought this for a while. When I’m at the driving
    range I hit them well and when on the course less so. Hitting the ground
    first sometimes. And I realised I’m hitting the mat at the range first but
    still produces a good shot as the mat bounced the club up rather than deep
    into the grass and staying there.
    Cheers Rick. Need to book some lessons but it’s a bit drive from York to
    Manchester 🙁 

  3. Another trick worth trying (that has helped me as a chronic fat hitter) is
    to NOT look directly at the ball at address and into the swing. Look at
    the ground on the target side of the ball a few inches..a specific blade of
    grass or speck of dirt. We are very visually cued creatures…we put
    things that are in our hands (hammer, baseball bat, golf club…) as close
    to the exact spot to which we are looking. We’re wired that way. So, look
    where you want the sole of that clubhead to impact the ground and you will
    simply collect the ball on the way to that point. We are to impact the
    ball on the way down, NOT at the exact bottom of the swing arc. Also,
    flare the front foot more towards target, which helps us to feel more in
    control and balanced, facilitating an easier, more fluid weight transfer
    over the forward leg. 

  4. Thanks rick, will give this a go….lately I’ve found that I’m fatting the
    ball as I think my left wrist is dropping to early and really am struggling
    to shift my weight to the left on the downswing….do you age any
    suggestions/drills on how I can transfer my weight correctly please ? 

  5. Can’t wait to try this one Rick, I struggle on driving ranges for some
    reason, not sure if its concentration going by hitting ball after ball or
    just the feeling of hitting off mats. I’ll defo give this a try, cheers

  6. Nice drill, i had this issue last year. I struggled with fat shots quite
    alot. Only way i found to hit the ball more consistently was to move it
    back in my setup, so for a 7 iron, i would set it up an inch closer to my
    right foot instead of the left. I know this is masking some swing faults
    but my ball striking did improve a lot. I must try this drill and work on
    it over the winter. Thanks Rick, enjoying your work lad ;)

  7. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this but I used to be a mark Crossfield
    fan but since discovering you, Pete finch and meandmygolf, you guys have
    done more to improve my game through your content than anything that has
    gone on before. So a big thanks to all of you guys! Extremely grateful for
    helping improve us golfers out there.

  8. Hi Rick,
    well what I did when I go to the range, hitting off the mat, i stick a
    masking tape 2-3″ behind the ball. If I hit the mat first, an immediate
    respond fr the tape. Plus, I could have that mind set up to not hit the
    mat, and strike the ball nicely. Awesome videos mate, helped my swing and
    game play a lot. Cheers.

  9. Watched this video just been range bought some chalk pens put a think line
    behind the ball 90% of the time I was hitting the chalk behind the ball but
    the range mat give me a good result did this drill worked a treat cheers

  10. Pardon me for asking Rick, but with this drill, do you not see a fair few
    hip sliders in an attempt to ‘shift’ their weight over to the left more
    than they may be used to?

    Just curious.

  11. Great Drill, The principles are that of The Impact Zone the book from Bobby
    Clampett, one of the five dynamics in the book, that charged my golf
    forever !! a must read guys or get the DVD set if you don’t read.

  12. Great video. I have noticed I do this a lot more since the ground has got
    softer. I have been getting away with it on the hard ground in the summer

  13. Ive used this method for a long time with woods off the ground. Its the
    only way I can guarantee a good contact as i approach the ball very steep.
    Excellent drill!

  14. I do this occasionally but sometimes take it to extremes and put the ball
    off left toe. encourages me to stop hitting behind the ball and move
    sternum ahead of ball when in normal ball position! Nice video mate 

  15. In someway combine this with the Moe Norman style (club 6-8″ behind the
    ball) and you’ll always find sweetspot, don’t you think.

  16. Hi Rick, just got back from an indoor session on a simulator and tried this
    out with fantastic results. I then incorporated it into my pre-shot routine
    imagining I am hitting a ball forward in my stance. This has not only
    helped my contact but also my club path. Great drill
