Birdie Or Better With Zach Johnson

Zach Johnson, 02 July 2009 14:36

To hit crisper iron shots, I started addressing the ball with the shaft leaning forward. This is similar to the position I want to be in at impact, with my hands ahead of the ball.

The dreaded slice. Just about every golfer has experienced it, so much so that nearly everyone even understands what happens when you create a slice.
