The table of truth.
Where do you sit.

The table to the right shows you that Tour Professionals, with a short-to-mid iron, have a low point that is consistently between 3½ and 4 inches beyond the ball. They’re compressing the golf ball with a downward attack angle (shallow but downwards), with a slightly delofted club, generating maximum ball speed, and a more penetrating ball flight with good backspin.

Less experienced golfers have a very inconsistent low point in their golf swing. Their low point can sometimes be well beyond the ball and sometimes well before the ball and everywhere in between.

For the more inexperienced or less skilled golfer, the route to improvement is finding a more consistent low point. For intermediate golfers, the journey to better will often mean shallowing out their angle of attack, but moving the low-point further towards the target.

Step forward for help

If you’re a golfer hitting fat shots or thin shots or both on a regular basis, then please step forward. We know if we can tighten up and improve the low point of your swing then you’re going to have a lot more fun. Start with an assessment of your low point.
