Looking Up

photo credit: rioncm   Looking up is one of the biggest excuses ever invented to describe a poor shot.  By the time you look up, the shot has already been executed (the mistake has been made). 

The best way to concentrate on any shot is by looking at the ball at all times, in fact,  it’s wise to look at just the back of the ball which creates even more shot concentration. 

Ben Hogan, when asked what he looks at during his swing, said that he loses “sight of the ball somewhere in his downswing.”  Very few of the top players admit to actually seeing the ball as it leaves the face of their club.  Keeping your eye on the ball allows you to take your mind off of other swing issues you may already have.
