Ball very hight and no divot

[fampaini]

I play this fantastic game from 3 years. I don't play bad, but the flight of my balls is very hight and I don't take the divot (or if I take, it is before the ball, that is fat shot). I think that my problem could be first of all the release during the downswing and second the movement of the wrists after impact (I mean the rotation of left forearm after impact).
It is my first post. Someone can give me some suggestions, tip, drill, internet link instructions.
I sorry for my english. I am from Italy.
Thanks in advance

Re: Ball very hight and no divot

You are scooping the ball (right wrist is takeing over the left wrist to early). To hit the ball solid with a good divot you have to have a FLAT LEFT WRIST and a BENT RIGHT WRIST at IMPACT!

If I was you then i would stand infront of a mirror and practice getting a flat left wrist and a bent right wrist at impact, Hold this position at impact for 20 seconds each time! (impact only lasts for 100th of a second, so hitting 200 balls at the range trying to get into a good impact position is just the same as standing in front of a mirror and holding the impact position for 20 seconds).

Hope it helps.

Re: Ball very hight and no divot

check your ball position, ball may be too far forward and you hitting it on the way up, with your short and midd irons you should hit the ball then turf taking a divit, place the ball in the middle of your stans or little forward and see if it makes a difference rather than changing your swing.
