Focus On The Ball

By Quinn Harris


Keeping your eyes on the ball is a guideline in almost every sport. And for golf players, it is definitely one of the most important things to remember. If your eyes are not on the ball, you probably won't hit it!

Try to always keep your eyes on one spot. Don't look at your club to see if it's squared to the ball. Don't let your eye follow the club as you draw it away

The ball should be all you see.

It would also be helpful to look at the ball with a bird's eye view. Since your eyes are roughly a foot over the pivotal center, it won't do you any good to raise your shoulders. Do not look at ball along the length of your club. Your goal is to look down on the ball instead than getting your angles along the shaft. This will give you much better results and you won't have a tendency to look up too soon.

Some people tend to look away as soon as they draw back the club. Your eye should remain firmly on the ball, at all times.

Keeping your hands parallel to the line will allow you to keep the head of the club in line of flight, but that's something you can only see if you properly look down. When the head and ball are in contact, you should sweep your hands along with the club head.

Mastering the skill of seeing the ball clearly until you hit it is true of every kind of shot. No matter where the ball is or where it ends up, you should see it clearly at all times.

The majority of golfers make the mistake of moving instead than standing still and seeing the ball clearly. A lot of the times people will give a glance in the direction they want the ball to go, then they look back at the ball. Many golfers would be shocked to find out that they don't stand still and keep their eye on the ball. If your eyes leave the ball even for a second during your swing, you can be assured that it won't be a good hit.

Lacking concentration is the worst thing you can do in golf. If you can ever reach a time when you keep your eyes on the ball from start to finish, you can rest assured that you will have a good game.

If you want to wipe out one of the worst golf faults, determine that from the top of your swing until you hit the ball you will keep your eye clearly on the ball. You'll find your golf game improving so significantly - your friends may start asking you for lessons!
