Remember to hit down on the ball to get ball contact first and take a divot (sand) after impact. (See the video's below - Tiger Woods Golf Swing and Rory McIlroy Golf Swing)
Some extra training tips:
- move the ball back in the stance (train yourself to make ball contact first);
- keep the weight more on the LEFT foot (right-handed players);
- think of DELOFTING the club during impact;
- take some extra loft (eg. 9 iron instead of an 8 iron) to compensate the lower ball flight after impact;
- PRACTICE these shots! It won't hurt you to spent more time in a range bunker. It will help to improve your impact on fairway shots.
