Often I get asked, how do I stop hitting the ball fat, all I ever practice off is a hitting mat? There are a few reasons one hits the ball fat, one of which is incorrect angle of attack into the golf ball, either too steep or too shallow. Have a look at this basic drill I have recorded and give it a try!

Please let me know if it works for you!
