Ball above your feet

[iku]

I've lost 4 shots yesterday playing balls from lies above my feet.

Is there any drill that can help with finding consistency with this kind of shot?

On the range, place a ball in the normal position but stand off the mat, if you can. At the range I use this can "raise" the ball by 2 inches. This simulates the ball being above your feet - not by much but it's a start.

When you say, you lost 4 shots was that down to poor contact or missing the target left? (right hander)

Hi Bob, I hit those shot thin with the ball rolling 60-70 yds straight in front of me. This surprised me because I would have actually expected the opposite, maybe I was overcompensating to avoid hitting the ground before the ball.

Were you holding the club at the top of the grip as usual?

Were you holding the club at the top of the grip as usual?

Yes. I don't think I made any change to my standard grip.

Try holding the club further down the grip which should help you use a normal swing.
But dont forget, aim right (right hander)

Thanks Bob.

Am I supposed to aim left if the ball is below my feet?

Yes and hit an extra club
