The Consistency Code - Low Point Mastery

About this course

Low point is the lowest part of the clubhead’s arc during your swing. Its position relative to the ball helps determine whether you strike the ball cleanly, hit the ground first, or catch it thin. With an iron off the ground, you generally want your low point on the target side of the ball. This allows the club to strike the ball first, then brush the turf or take a divot. If your low point is behind the ball, you can hit the ground first—or catch the ball thin if the club has already started moving upward. Why it matters: controlling your low point helps you produce more consistent contact, distance and ball flight.
