BALL GOES HIGH

Why Do Golf Shots Go Too High? Let's Get to the Bottom of This! Ever found yourself hitting a shot that soars way higher than you intended? You're not alone. Many golfers struggle with this issue, and there are several reasons why it happens.
 

1. Incorrect Ball Position: The Setup
If your ball is too far forward in your stance, you'll likely hit it too high. Adjusting your ball position can help you achieve a more controlled trajectory.

​

2. Club Selection: The Right Tool for the Job
Using the wrong club can also lead to high shots. If you're using a club with too much loft, your shots will naturally go higher. Make sure you're selecting the right club for the distance and conditions.

​

3. Swing Path: The Route to Success
In golf, an upward swing path can lead to high shots. Focus on maintaining a more downward swing path to keep your shots lower.

​

4. Angle of Attack: The Impact Factor
The angle at which your club strikes the ball, known as the angle of attack, plays a crucial role in shot height. If your angle of attack is too steep, you'll hit the ball higher. Work on flattening your angle of attack to achieve a more penetrating ball flight.

​

5. Grip and Wrist Position: The Control Elements
Your grip and wrist position can also affect the height of your shots. If your grip is too weak or your wrists are too active during the swing, you'll add loft to the clubface, resulting in higher shots. Strengthen your grip and stabilize your wrists for better control.

​

6. Wind Conditions: The External Factor
Sometimes, it's not you – it's the wind. Playing in windy conditions can cause your shots to go higher than usual. Be mindful of the wind direction and strength, and adjust your setup and club selection accordingly.
