 Jim’s Question:  “Why do I hit the ball fat?”

Team Pro Impact Answer: First off, for those who do not know what “fat” means.  It is simply hitting or contacting the grass/turf prior to contacting the golf ball.  Jim, there could be a few reasons you are having this issue including your ball position or even a pre-mature releasing of your wrist hinge (called casting) that could be causing this problem, but I’m willing to make an educated guess that you suffer from the most common fault by golfer’s that share your problem.  That is a suspect weight transfer.  We as golfers are going to “ground out” or reach the bottom of our golf swing arc a very high percentage of the time where our weight or center of gravity is at impact.  If our weight remains on our trailing side we will suffer from this issue constantly.  We must pivot our energy and weight around our center of gravity (spine) in a consistent balanced motion and our ball position should simply accommodate our swing which will result in ball first contact.  If our ball position is slightly forward of center our weight needs to be transferred to our leading leg to ensure ball first contact.  Great Question, we hope this helped.

Do to the number of questions we receive it may take a while for us to get to yours but we will do our very best to answer all in a timely fashion.
