To continue with the previous topic. How do we see the ball properly? This might seem too simple, even a touch arrogant. After all, we have been
SEEING all of our lives and, for some of us older strikers, 39 and holding, our eyes have been working quite well, thank you very much.

When you feel ready to pull the trigger, define precisely where you are looking at the ball. OK, where? At the name and number which you fastidiously placed on top at 12 o'clock, RIGHT? If so you have a lot of company. 75% of all North American golfers look at the top of the ball.
Where does every club in your bag (woods, irons, putter) strike the ball? At 3 o'clock on its backside.
Hand-eye co-ordination. Look at the top...strike the top.
If you want to kick its butt, look at its pants.
