A description of a shot when the clubhead strikes the turf behind the ball, resulting in poor contact and a shot that comes up well short of the target. (She hit a fat shot from the tee on the par 3 and, as the ball sank from sight in the pond, so did her chances […]
An exaggerated opening of the clubface as the backswing begins. (He fanned the club open on the backswing and hit mostly slices.)
A shot that flies slightly from left to right. (She hit a gentle fade from the tee and never missed a fairway in the final round).
The actual loft on a club at impact as opposed to the loft built into the club. Effective loft is determined by, among other things, the lie and the position of the hands relative to the ball at impact. (The uphill lie added effective loft to the club).
When a player prematurely releases the cocking of the wrists on the downswing, resulting in a loss of power at impact. This is also known as “casting from the top.” (Her tendency to make an early hit made her one of the shortest hitters in the field.)
A score of two-under-par on a hole. (His eagle on the 17th hole assured his victory.)
A decreasing of the clubhead speed in the hitting area. (Jones decelerated on his putt, and left it short of the hole.)
A driver with greater-than-standard height on its face. (His PGA Professional suggested trying a deep-faced driver).
A shot in which the hands remain relatively passive in the hitting area, resulting in a shot that flies a shorter distance than it normally would. (He dead-handed a 5-iron on the par 3, which confused his fellow players).
