Today I hit several shots while experimenting with a higher lofted hybrid wood. I discovered that being close to the ball with my arms slightly dangled in front of me keeps me on the inside of the target path when I go to swing down at the ball. I also lined the ball up center left about two inches off of my lead front foot. Concentrating on dropping the club straight down in the short back swing and bringing it toward the ball being careful to keep my wrist from breaking and at the same time extending my right arm through the shot was important to hit the ball toward the target and into the air. The short back swing without worrying about a slightly bent arm allows me to drop the club and guide the head of the club right into the back of the ball. Again, the full extension of my right arm launches the ball upward very abruptly. Hopefully the pictures I am posting helps in understanding this.
