TIGER'S TIP
By Tiger Woods, with Pete McDaniel and Mark Soltau
Compress the Ball
For crisper iron shots, try to trap it against the turf
Most great iron players have at least one thing in common: They take a divot, whether the ball is teed up or on the turf. And it usually comes from a shallow angle of attack, which produces a long, shallow divot about the size of a dollar bill. Conversely, high-handicappers either make a steep downswing and dig a crater through impact, or they don't take a divot at all. Both mistakes lead to inconsistent contact and poor shots.
To improve your ball striking (and your divots), try shallowing out your backswing--swinging a little more around you. That sets up a shallower angle into the ball and a long, thin divot. It also helps if you turn the knuckles of your top hand to the ground through impact. This is a clear sign that you're compressing the ball, trapping it between the clubface and the turf, which will result in a divot on the forward side of the ball.
有人竟然懷疑慣用右手無法用左手打球．
從小慣用右手的天才彼得國小４年級開始訓練左手．每天在自家巷內(彼得台南市內老家非常大200餘坪)每天用左手投500顆球．．．吃飯時改用左手．除了寫字沒辦法外．甚至上廁所也用左手拉拉鍊．用左手掏．．
哈哈．失禮．失禮．
練習用左手拿筷子．國中時開始學拳擊．劍道．合氣道時故意用左手當先手．．但是當高爾夫球由右手換成左手時還足足花了３年才打出直球．．五年．．甚至７年後才破９０桿
爾後為了平衡左右手．訂下一年完全打右手．一年完全打左手
．有時桿袋中充斥著左右手桿．
高爾夫球規則規定．．高爾夫球筒中只能有１４支球桿．但彼得球筒中一定超過１８支．
彼得自侍因練過劍道而臂力驚人．卻不太會打木桿．因此只用鐵桿下打球距離不如人．
但卻鐵桿精準．距離與方向皆精確．球隊月賽４個３桿短洞．．每每拿到２個以上近洞獎．
因此自稱鐵桿王．．那是業餘者自封的啦．．不足言道
哈哈．其實我們業餘高爾夫球喜愛者．９０桿以下已是高高手了啦．不要太苛求我們這些業餘愛好者
