How do I stop duffing my greenside pitches?

- By Top 25 Coach Keith Williams

To improve the consistenc­y of your strike, tee a ball up on a low peg. Concentrat­e on letting the club ‘glide’ through impact and try to get the leading edge to clip the peg. This will encourage a shallow impact angle – so less of a digging action. Start by taking a narrow stance with your weight slightly favouring the lead foot, then feel the triangle formed by the arms move away from the ball. Keep the hands and wrists fairly passive. The downswing is a simple rotation of the arms and chest over the inside of the left foot. You should just graze the grass at impact.

You shouldn’t be taking a divot during this drill – the aim is for the leading edge to simply brush the tee peg through impact.
