Technically the key for Will will be developing the feeling that his chest is more on top of the ball at impact, rather than hanging behind it. This moves the low point of the swing a little nearer the target, helping him develop more of a squeezing strike that takes a little divot – something Will hardly ever does with his current technique. This more driven strike should send the ball out lower and with more penetration and spin.
A talented lad, Will got the hang of this almost instantly, and before long he gained five yards of distance from a shorter swing. He was also starting to develop the shot that lands, bounces and grabs – a really powerful weapon to have.
