Hitting The Ball Fat?

Question

Lately, I've been hitting the golf ball so fat and it is beyond frustrating. Last round, I tried looking 1-2 inches in front of the ball, and it was working wonders, but is there any other more convenient ways to stop hitting it fat? What is causing this divot before the ball?

Answer 1

It sounds like your weight is too far back at impact. This gives a kind of scooping at the ball effect. Just try to be conscious of your weight transfer while swinging.

Answer 2

You are moving. Turn at the waist ;  don't sway.

Answer 3

I use to do the same thing... now the next time you take some shots, put both feet together(side by side, touching) and swing straight at your target...do this for a while... if it doesn't help ... do the same with the feet, move the ball back depending on which club your using(i suggest 7 iron for this shot) try to hit the ball first and then the ground at a descending angle... and that should stop you from hitting them fat and should help you put your game together...
