It doesn’t matter if you hit the ball great on the driving range if it doesn’t translate to the course. Unfortunately, this tends to happen to lots of amateur golfers — and it’s immensely frustrating when it does.

But just because you’re having a bad ball-striking day doesn’t mean you just need to accept it. In fact, instead of kicking your bag or hanging your head, GOLF Top 100 Teacher Trillium Rose has some advice on how to do the opposite.

In the video below (courtesy of Titleist’s YouTube channel), Rose provides some easy tips that can get your ball-striking back on track and, just maybe, save your round. Check it out to see simple swing adjustments that will help you start to play better instantly.

How to instantly improve ball striking during your next round

Since many amateurs often overthink their issues during mid-round struggles, Rose says it’s time to try a different approach — and create the necessary feels by going back to fundamentals.

“Sometimes, mid-round, you may feel like you lose your swing,” Rose says. “It’s happened to all of us, so the real key here is to just get some feel back, and there are a number of little drills that you can do to get that feel depending on what the issue is.”

Rose dives into a specific drill for golfers who might be losing their spine angle or jumping up out of their swings, both of which negatively impact ball striking ability.

“Put the club behind your shoulders, extend the grip out to your trail side, and then bend into your posture,” Rose says. “Go through the swing slowly and really feel right through impact that the grip is pointing [to the] outside of the ball.

“If you’re jumping up out of it, that grip is probably going to point to the horizon line, which isn’t a good thing.”

Whether it’s due to fatigue or just a lack of concentration, by using this quick-fix drill, you can reset yourself and start to see better ball striking in no time.

“So get the feel, figure out what it’s like in your feet, what muscles you’ve got to get tuned into, and that should be a helpful thought for you just to get everything back on track,” Rose says.
