Both sections feature helpful corresponding fixes.Īddress & Setup Position Errors that can lead to Thin Shots Is the ball located too much forward? The section after that one looks at the different address position and setup errors that can lead to thin shots, before the swing is even started. The following section highlights key swing errors that can lead to hitting it thin. Or in other words, it is possible that your thin shots come as a result of a club that simply doesn’t travel down enough to hit the ball on the sweet spot of the club and produce a healthy divot following the strike.
This can happen as a result of a swing path that doesn’t reach down far enough. A pure strike at the ball will see the clubface hitting the ball in the sweetspot whereas a thin shot will see the bottom of the clubface and oftentimes its leading edge hitting the ball instead. Indeed, in order to produce a shot that sees the leading edge of the club making contact with the ball – such as is the case in thin shots – the bottom of the swing arc needs to be located behind the ball, or before contact with the ball is made.Īlternatively, the bottom of the swing arc can also be too high in contrast to where it should be. In a similar way to fat shots, thin shots are fundamentally produced by errors related to the arc of the swing itself and more specifically to the position of its bottom. What Causes Thin Shots? Bottom of the Swing Arc Before the Ball and/or Too High Although the distance the shot ultimately travels can be near its good shot equivalent it is not uncommon to see the ball travel past the target as the ball rolls more than it normally would have.Ĭontinue reading to learn more about the root causes that produce thin shots and for fixes that will help you stop “thinning shots”. It also results in barely any divot being produced by the club. This results in a ball that doesn’t travel as high and a shot that doesn’t feel as good in the hands of the golfer that produced it. But in contrast to a better shot that sees the clubface striking the ball inside the sweet spot hitting it thin will often see the leading edge of the club making contact with the ball. In golf a thin shot – or a golf shot hit thin – is one that see the club hitting the ball below its equator.
