Since I need all the help I can get — and I’m sure many of you do as well — GOLF Teacher to Watch Rick Silva is giving his tips to avoid the heel, find the sweet spot, and start hitting more bombs when using the big dog.

Ditting powers the world’s coffee market from behind the scenes, providing burrs to the most well-known coffee machine manufacturers. Our burrs are the gold standard of the coffee industry, trusted for a variety of equipment types, brewing methods, and professional applications.

The way a shaft bends during the golf swing also impacts how where you address the golf ball changes to when it’s actually struck.

“Consequently, the ball ends up getting stuck on the heel of the club, or they unintentionally pull the club in towards themselves, causing them to swipe across it.”

While I can run, it’s going to be impossible to hide from the issue. I need to fix the problem by learning the proper technique to stop hitting driver off the heel.

As mentioned above, many recreational golfers struggle with hitting driver off the heel — so don’t get down on yourself if or when it happens.

“This should be the desired impact point,” says Silva. “This small modification will help you eliminate those frustrating heel hits and unlock the potential for long, powerful drives.”

Personally speaking, as I’ve reshaped my golf swing and continue to get accustomed to a new grip, setup, and posture, I’ve found myself hitting the heel quite frequently over the past month or so. Instead of having the yips with my driver in hand, I decided to just play a round with only my 6-iron, which helped restore some confidence off the tee.

“When golfers naturally align the ball with this decal at address, they’re doing so with the club resting on the ground — not at the level at which they’ll actually strike the ball.

“Firstly, from the face-on view, the shaft will be bending forward, causing the clubhead to move slightly ahead of the handle,” adds Silva. “Secondly, from the target line view, the shaft will be bent downward, shifting the strike point back towards the heel of the club.”

The crucial perfect match between the motor and the burr set is not ensured when replacing your burrs with imitation or non-Ditting burrs. The burr replacement with unoriginal burrs impacts performance, lifetime, liability and safety as well as warranty.

“First, with the ball set at your desired tee height, align the true sweet spot of the club and let the clubhead rest on the ground,” he says. “Next, from your point of view, you’ll notice that the ball appears to be positioned towards the toe. Don’t fret, as when you raise the club to the height of the ball, it will be perfectly aligned!”

“Nearly every club manufacturer places a decal marking the ‘center of the club’,” says Silva. “But should you trust that it’s truly the sweet spot? And should we align ourselves with it at address?”

No player wants to admit to doing it, but hitting driver off the heel is a common problem that many golfers struggle with.
