Make sure your feet, thighs, hips and shoulders are parallel with one another and with the intended target line. Take an easy, controlled swing. Tee Placement As I mentioned, hitting your playing partners ball is not only embarrassing but it’s a costly penalty as well.Make sure that you have one or several ball marking so that you never make this mistake. One final point on technology, don’t be seduced by manufacturer’s claims that longer shafts will help you hit the ball further. There are now a huge number of drivers that come with a 46” shaft as standard, which is just plain crazy! Yes, a bigger arc means more swing speed, but it also makes it impossible for mere mortals to find the sweet spot consistently. The best players in the world (including the longest hitters on Tour) use 44½” driver shafts, so should you. Do you have more questions about hitting it in the sweet spot and improving your ball striking? If so, keep reading to learn more about it now. Where is the sweet spot on a golf club? That’s a great question since it’s not marked on the club. The sweet spot of a typical iron is about the size of a pinhead. It’s typically larger in fairway woods and biggest in your driver. Drivers made for beginners have an even bigger sweet spot. Final Thoughts on Hitting the Sweet Spot

I go real light with the circle, then put on a line-em-up and sharpie in the line real heavy on one half of the ball. I then use the line to line up putts and tee shots (I like having the line even if the ball isn't balanced). Then, you square up the putter with the horizontal one and set the other one toward your intended path. This method is more common among amateurs than pros as it’s a lot of drawing on one ball but it is still effective. At the tee I put the blue dot up which, all things being equal (they never are, I know...) means my side spin based on ball variation is going to be minimized.

When you hit a golf ball in the middle of the club it goes longer, higher, and straighter than mishits.It’s the signal of a perfect golf shot and even sounds different from mishits. The Sweet Spot Finder I have is the same as above and it is missing the "New" features but somehow I was able to get by. Here are three reasons why you should have markings (of some sort) on your golf ball before teeing it up every single round. 1. Marking Your Ball For Identification Purposes

Golf Ball in Its Sweet Spot - SportsRec Tips to Hit a Golf Ball in Its Sweet Spot - SportsRec

Think of a figure skater doing a spin. When their arms are outstretched, they spin more slowly. They have distributed more of their weight outwards, and they are more “resistant” to spinning – they have increased their MOI. The reason that this spot is “sweet” is that, when the CoG of the club head is moving directly towards the CoG of the golf ball at impact, this provides the optimal energy transfer from the club head to the ball. Putting was where I felt it would make the most difference. Ok, any difference if there was some. So to test it I took these 7 balls and placed them around the hole on the putting green. Three times each at 3 feet, 5 feet, and 8 feet with the line aimed directly at the hole. I did it a second time with the line facing any direction but at the hole. At 3 feet it made absolutely no difference. I made every putt no matter where the line was facing. At 5 feet I made 20 of 21 putts with the line aimed at the hole and 18 of 21 not aimed at the hole. At 8 feet, I made 18 of 21 with it lined up and 14 of 21 not lined up. Conclusive proof? Remember, a ball marking usually don’t cure a major problem so always work on the fundamentals. How else can I improve my alignment? This is a great question as marks on your ball can really help you set up better to more putts and shoot lower scores. But as you can tell from above, there is no one way to do it.Usually in a dozen balls there is one or two that wobbles more than the others. I usually leave these for practice rounds. I've often thought about getting one. In the older days pre this, golfers used to use I think it was bath salts or some thing similar to get the same results that this claims. If it's not perfect, you can either mark your ball on the green again and correct the line up of the equator mark or you can go ahead and putt knowing that you want to aim just right or just left of where the equator mark is lined up.

Do they really work...I read in Pelz's putting book that most balls are not perfectly balanced and will wobble when you putt on a green. To make a long story short Pelz had a method (water, epson salt, spinning the ball in the water, etc.) of finding the heavy side of the ball and marking it with a pen to help you align youy putts.

Missing the Sweet Spot

I've seen *some* golf balls definitely be very off balanced and could see it effecting my putts. For instance, I could putt with 3 golf balls from the same line and the first two would roll the same way and the third one would roll much differently despite stroking the putt pretty much the same way. This means that when you strike the ball towards the toe, say, thus creating draw spin as the face twists, the part of the face where the strike occurs is pointing slightly right (for a right-handed club), so the ball will start right and then curve left. If the face were flat, the ball would hook more, but having the “face bulge” is more likely to result in a less damaging draw. Similarly with hits out of the heel, which will tend towards a fade more than a destructive slice. The sweet spot of a golf club is the spot on the face of the club that produces the most efficient transfer of energy from the clubhead to the ball. When a golf ball is hit on the sweet spot of a club, it travels farther, straighter, and with more accuracy. Golfers strive to hit the sweet spot of their clubs consistently, but it can be difficult to do so without the aid of technology. This is where the golf ball sweet spot finder comes in. What is a Golf Ball Sweet Spot Finder? Ideally, I think you should have some sort of personal tough (a dot, initials, stamp etc) and an alignment mark on your golf balls. This way, you can sport a logo or personalization and use the arrow/line to help you get putts on the right path. Or, you can also use the Technasonic to find your sweet spot of each golf ball and mark them accordingly.
