(and how to fix)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

All golf shots are all unique (especially mine), and no matter how much I practice, how much I perfect my swing, I am still able to get a ball to nose dive now and then. But what causes the golf ball to nose dive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, a golf ball will nose dive after you strike it because of a forward spin on the golf ball. Other factors include your stance, the club, your striking power, the wind, rain, and other elements. These things can contribute to a shot to nose dive or something similar. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For golf shots, you want to get to the root cause of a problem and how can you correct it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you are consistently getting a nose dive in your shot, this article will explain piece by piece how to identify and fix once and for all. <\/p>\n\n\n

Why do shots nose dive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The short answer to why golf shots nose dive<\/a> is that you hit the top of the golf ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This causes the golf ball to move forward, and raise very low, with a forward spin, so that over time, it will just go down into the ground<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nose dive is because of how you are striking the ball off of the tee with your wood, or off with your iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a multitude of factors that can cause a golf shot to take a nosedive. You need to look at a few things when you are taking a swing at a golf ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you need to look at is your stance. How are your feet settled? Are you straight on with the ball?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about the grip that you have over the golf club itself? Backspin is also critical, as is the golf club that you are choosing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main reason the golf ball is taking a nosedive<\/a> is because of the way you are hitting the golf ball. The shot at the golf ball is striking at the top half of the ball. When you strike the golf ball here, it is going to cause it to fly off of the tee or the ground, but in a low trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will fly off of the location with velocity, but the forward spin on the ball is going to cause it to fly low, and eventually nose dive into the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to get under the ball when you swing so that you have a positive spin that carries the ball forwards in flight, not the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Duck Hooks or Snap Hooks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The terms duck hook or snap hook are the same in the golf world. A duck hook or a snap hook are both awful shots that you can hit in the game of golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term is going to be in line with a ball that will turn sharply and quickly right into the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you hit the ball, if it pops up and then nose dives into the ground, you have done a duck hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
