increasingly difficult to assess how well you’ve struck any given shot.
The only metric we’re left with then is distance, and you can’t expect a friend to
stand in the middle of the driving range recording your results
while you hit balls at him! There’s one easy way to determine how
purely you’re striking the ball – that doesn’t require protective equipment –
and can even be performed at home.

Impact tape is readily available and will give you a great idea of not only

where on the clubface you are hitting the ball, but also the consistency with

which you do it. You don’t even have to use real golf balls to get an accurate

reading – most ‘aero’ practice balls will leave a decent enough mark – and that

means you can do this in your own back yard without fear of damaging property!

Below is a brief explanation of the most common strike patterns. If you’re suffering

from one of the less desirable variants then come and see me for a lesson and

improve your technique!
