Ball off back foot

07-08-2003, 07:19 PM

I hear alot of people say if you want to hit a low shot you must play the ball off your back foot or slightly in front of your back foot. However when I do this all I get is a skyed shot that goes to the right . When I play it more in the middle i get the distance and accuracy. My question is why cant i play it off my back foot?

I'm a golfaholic, no question about that. Counseling wouldn't help me. They'd have to put me in prison, and then I'd talk the warden into building a hole or two and teach him how to play. ~Lee Trevino

You have to be hanging back. This means that your weight stays on the back foot throught the shot and never translates to the front.

Just because it is in the back does not mean you do anything different. Rotation, and translation to the front has to always happen no matter where you put the ball.
