What Actually Happens When You Hit a Golf Ball (SLOW MO) 🤯⛳️ Golf Swing Tips #shorts

WHY They Lie ⬇️

If you go to a club fitting and the fitter pulls out a lie board, RUN! This is not an accurate way to fit your clubs to the correct lie angle.

The “lie angle” of your golf club is basically the angle formed between the shaft and the clubhead. When you hit a golf ball, ideally, the entire sole of the club contacts the ground. Hitting the ball well is a lot harder when you hit with one edge of the club (toe/heel) closer to the ground than the other.

To fix that issue, the “lie angle” is adjustable on many clubs. It’s a big reason to get fit for clubs!

However, if your club fitter tries to use a lie board (what the ball is sitting on here), you can get a lot of poor feedback. Here is why:

🔹 If you happen to contact the board early, you’ll get inaccurate feedback

🔹 If you happen to lean the shaft backwards at impact (common mistake), you’ll get inaccurate feedback

🔹 There’s a chance you miss the board entirely (thin shots)

The easiest way to FIT for LIE ANGLE is simple - draw a VERTICAL LINE on the golf ball, put some tape on the club face, and make sure the line is straight up and down!

This will ensure your clubs are fit to the proper lie angle.

That’s what happens when you hit a shot fat in slow mo

[jaisin]

Now film this in grass so we can see the effects of a 4' long sod roll on that sick chunk. Lol. Very cool tho.

[cardsfan]

Man hit a SOLID 4 inches behind that ball😂

[robertcourt]

A lie board is used to determine which part of the clubs sole interacts with the ground. It's nothing to do with ball flight or ball contact.
Saying that, if you hit the ground that far behind the ball a degree or 2 change in lie angle isnt going to save you!

[Truetoself]

Now that’s true magic of levitation! I wish all my fat shots were like that!!

[braydenboyko]

If that was off grass, that’s what you would called “laying the sod over the ball”

That would’ve went about 40 yards

[BrandonHaynesGolf]

It’s compresses we all know that. But what happened before the ball was hit is not normal. ball then ground. He hit 4 in behind that ball witch caused it it to jump on that mat.

[Smiggers]

That woulda sent a MASSIVE beaver tail flyin 😂

[tylerflorio]

A lie board isn't to see where you make contact on the face. There's usually a sticker on bottom of club that tells you where your point of contact is on the club. Then if it's on the toe or heel you would make lie angle adjustments

[chicagowabo]

Not necessarily lieboards but path boards. And it still gives you a relatively realistic idea of your club path.

[Zacharydderrick]

Also, the lie board is meant to measure where club sole contacts ground, ball doesn't really matter.

[mikepahira]

Chunked so hard the ball started levitating

[johnsheldon]

Its called move the ball 6 inches back in your stance and forward press the club

[tylerlesko]

The point is the shot was terrible but ended up not as bad because it was on a matt. I think most of you missed it.

[lamprou]

It would be awesome if the ground would pull away from the ball like that when I play.

[richardwhite]

No this is what happens when you hit the ball fat as hell and take a beaver tail 6” behind the ball

[paulherrington]

I can see the ball right now flying through the air wrapped up in a 6in strip of sod 😂

[haydenbriggs]

Been playing golf for less than a year and even I know this is not an ideal shot. I do this alot, and you know a chunked shot before the ball 5ft away.

[Barney]

But surely a lie board isn't about hitting balls. You just need the ball there to focus the bottom of your swing path in order to indicate marks on the sole of the club head.

My big problem with lie boards is that the ball position will inevitably be above your feet which immediately leads to a false reading.
