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.?
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 🙁 ?
Great drill Rick, thanks for a great job. Happy Christmas and New Year to
you and yours.?
PERFECT GOLF STRIKE BEST DRILL EVER
Strike the golf ball much better!
#MustWatch and Share?
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?
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.?
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 ;)?
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.?
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
rick?
thanks for this vid, great help to me when I am at the range, increased
consistency in ball striking.?
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.?
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.?
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?
Great drill Rick! I’ll give it a try at the range tomorrow! Keep posting
the vids, really enjoy them.?
Thanks for that advice Rick. I find I hit the ground first and this should
help.?
Great tip Rick, tried it down the range last night, worked well.?
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!?
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 ?
Great drill Rick! Just tried this at the range, a great exercise?
So annoyed I have just came home from the range to see this video. Looks
like a great drill to use.?
Good thing for seeing strike patterns is a slight bit of talc powder on the
mat?
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.?
Fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing this Rick! ?
