The shaft must be leaning toward the target through impact for the clubface to pinch the ball between the clubface and the grass, producing a good divot on the forward side of the ball. 2. Your core muscles must lead the downswing, keeping the hands from flipping through the swing, maintaining proper timing, and triggering the trap. 3. The wrists must hinge naturally to keep the clubface from closing too quickly through impact. Executing these three things traps the ball against the turf. And learning to trap the ball between the clubface and the turf will generate improved ball flight quickly. Enjoy, Tom
