ADVICE

Impact Training: Diagnostics

Spray the club face with Dr. Scholl's foot spray to see impact location.
Determine your tendencies (heel, toe, or center strikes).

ADVICE

Impact Training: Correction

After diagnosing your tendencies, try hitting shots while intentionally aiming for the opposite side of the face.
If you're a heel striker, aim for the toe, and vice versa.

ADVICE

Ground Strike: Towel Drill

Use the towel drill to improve ground strike awareness.
Place a thin towel behind the ball and try to hit the ground after the towel.
