The key to making solid contact with a golf ball is to have excellent footwork. The tendency for most golfers is to hit the ground behind the ball instead of catching the ball first. To insure solid contact with the ball, it is an absolute must to know where your swing bottoms out. A great way to get the feel for this is to simply take some practice swings and just brush the grass. Take note of where the club makes its first contact with the ground. This spot is where your swing actually bottoms out. It’s difficult to think about where your feet are during the swing, therefore, concentrate on your finish position. Make sure you are completely up on your right toe with the bottom of your shoe facing away from the target. The right toe serves only as balancing point. If you achieve this foot position, the bottom of the swing arc will move forward and you will start making better contact with the golf ball.
