Project Description
Striking the ball first and the ground after is essential for good ball striking. For this to happen the club has to be descending at the moment of impact. Making the low point of the swing past the ball. If the body centers are too far behind the ball at impact the low point of the swing will tend to bottom out behind the ball, causing a ground first contact. Also, if the radius of the swing arc reaches its full length to soon, again the low point will tend to be behind the ball.
If we assume the center of the golf swing is the left shoulder, a straight line from the left shoulder to the club head should not take effect until after impact. This then causes an impact position with forward shaft lean, a ball first contact and the low point to occur after the ball.
