Man, do I love that feeling \u2014 just catching it right out of the center of the club face<\/strong>. It’s the most important and best feeling in golf, but the reason it’s so important is because that’s where all of your ball control<\/strong> is coming from. Your spin rate<\/a> control, the distance<\/strong> that you’re going to hit the ball, the trajectory<\/strong> that you’re going to hit the ball \u2014 all of it changes dramatically depending on where you strike the ball on the club face<\/strong>. As you get to the driver it becomes even more dramatic because of the gear effect, but even with the irons it’s absolutely critical to hit the ball right in the screws.

\nThe reason most golfers don’t hit it on the sweet spot<\/strong> is really quite simple. They’re moving their lead shoulder through the hitting area. If you’re hitting it off the toe \u2014 as so many amateurs do \u2014 look at where you start at address and consider what happens when you turn your chest through the impact zone<\/strong>. How are you going to get the club back to the ball? It’s pretty difficult. If you go back and play my video really slow, you’ll notice that my shoulders are square at impact, which allows my arms to fully extend and get back out in front of my body, making it very easy to hit it in the screws.
