In golf, having consistent shots is definitely a must. Here is what most beginner golfers usually experience; as they look down from the line, there is a greater propensity for the golf club to be too vertical on the downswing. As a result, it creates too much turf, steep divots, as well as a ball spinning off to the right. This is definitely correct if you don’t have much knowledge in golf as well as its technicalities.
All these has something to do with your setup. Say for instance, if you have extreme bend on the upper body, as well as the arms are extended at a distance from the body, there are several tilts. This is the main reason for the golf club to get very vertical on the backswing, thus creating the steepness in the downswing, sticking the club into the ground, and the arms have the tendency to reverse.
So by standing taller at address and getting the end of the golf club pouring more toward your belt buckle, that will put you in an ideal position from address. But, this does not mean that your swing will be more rounded to create a consistent shot, so a basic drill is enough.
The 15, 10, 5 Drill
The first thing you have to do is to practice shot with the ball 15 inches above the ground. When you swing at a height, you create a great and rounded swing, seemingly like a baseball swing, and after the swing, it permits you to square up the clubface. After which, you can start moving to 10 inches above the ground, then 5, both around and through, then on the tee. Make sure that the end of the golf club is pointed at the buckle of your belt.
