Good drill

[pokerlife]

Ive been so focused on my swing that my ball striking has went down the drain.
So sometimes i forget that the bottom line is that i have to hit that ball with the center of the clubface.

I tried impact tape it and didn't work that well.
So just curious if anyone has any drills that focus on ballstriking ?

Not a drill as such - but I'm not convinced that hitting it out of the middle of the face is a matter of technique. I try to clear my head of conscious swing thoughts - maybe just thinking tempo. Much anything else just seems to get in my way. I think the margins are so small between a sweet hit and a clank that the only way to find the sweetspot is to develop your sense of feel and hand-eye co-ordination.

I don't think there's anything wrong with using impact tape. The feedback won't lie to you. It can only help, but I don't think there's any magic in it either. You've still got to learn how to find the middle of the club by feel. One way to challenge your hand-eye co-ordination is to hit shots one-handed. I think this is also a great way to get yourself away from swing-thoughts and get your focus on striking the ball.
