7 Ball Flight Problems

All golfers should know about the seven ball flight problem areas that most golfers face.More often than not once a golfer faces one of these problems, it is usually a recurring theme. All golfers get into little “ruts” with their golf swing sometimes.Many are worse than others, and some last for slightly longer periods of time.When it occurs, we all wonder where the “perfect swing” that we had just a few weeks ago went.

When we begin to uncover these 7 swing faults, it becomes much easier to get our swing back when we get into one of these “ruts” with our swing. Here are the seven different problems most golfers face (from the right-handed perspective):

1.   Fades (the ball starts straight and then curves right)
2.   Hooking (the ball starts straight and then curves left)
3.   Pushing (the ball goes straight right)
4.   Pulls (the ball goes straight left)
5.   Fat Shots (the club digs into ground before making contact with the ball)
6.   Thin Shots or Topping (the club makes contact with the top of the ball – making the ball fly very low)
7.   Lack of Distance (ball doesn’t seem to go very far)

Now you may be the rare case that looks at this list and says “I don’t have any of these problems.” However, every player – no matter what level – is going to have one of these problems with their swing at some point.And generally, they show up more than we like to admit.Scores of golfers use up the entire golf season tracking down and changing various problems that have “popped up” in their swing.

Understanding the problem areas is only the beginning. The real secret is identifying which problem you have and how to fix it. I found a set of three free golf instruction videos you can check out that address some of these swing issues. The instruction in these videos will show you how to learn the golf swing quickly and easily, its unigue because they take evaluations of real student golf swings so that you can see how easy these corrections can be identified and corrected.
