 Tips    

 

Maximum Power

To achieve maximum distance, use the trackball for both a back swing and forward swing.

 

Punch Shot

When confronted with trees or other obstacles the punch shot is any easy way to find relief.

A punch shot is a soft shot with a low trajectory club such as a driver or a 2 iron. When shooting through trees, it is important that the ball keeps a low trajectory to avoid lofting and clipping the branches and leaves. To do this a low trajectory club with a soft touch is required. It is possible to shoot through any visible clearing between the trees. This may take precise aim, but it is possible.

Remember "If you can see through it, you can shoot

 Hooks and Slices

Hooks and slices can be achieved with a variety of back swing and forward swing combinations. For a broad overview of the hook and slice mechanism refer to the chart above the track ball on the Golden Tee Fore! cabinet. This chart gives a basic idea of how to employ a curved golf shot. 

 

When using a hook or a slice, the back swing determines the angle of the club face. An easy way to use the back swing is to employ the following rule:

  • Pull back on the trackball from the same direction you want the ball to land.

When using a hook or a slice, the forward swing determines the direction of the club head. An easy way to use the back swing is to employ the following rule:

  • Push forward on the trackball in the same direction you want the ball start heading.

Things to note about hooks and slices:

  • The severity of the curve is directly related to the amount of angle used on the forward and back swings.
  • Hooks and slices put tremendous spin on the ball. The increased spin will cause the ball to roll farther when it lands. This will result in greater shot distance.
  • Hooks and slices do not have to be severe. A subtle curve can be used to combat wind direction or to spot the ball near a specific green location.
