Learning how to make ball-first contact has so many advantages. It is a key element in the feel of your shot, and the distance the ball travels. It is one of the biggest separators in handicap level, and enjoyment of the game.

In this video, Michael Breed shows you a great drill to help you make ball-first contact. The Shoe Lace drill will teach you to move the low point of your swing farther forward, so you can hit the ball and then the ground! This will increase your distance, and give you more control of the spin rate and the launch angle. When you can control spin rate and launch angle, you can develop some consistency. If you're looking for distance and consistency in your game, this video is a must watch.
