Approach · Low Point Control
Keep a towel a few inches behind the ball untouched while you nip the ball—if the towel never moves, your arc is shallowing in the right place at impact. Part of Approach — Low Point Control training — score against par, track every attempt in the app, and see real improvement.
Why this drill
Fat shots, thin contact, and clipping the turf before the ball all trace back to the same problem: your low point is arriving too early. Low point control drills train you to strike ball-first and deliver the club to the right spot in your swing. This is one of the highest-leverage skills in golf — because a poor low point affects your distance, direction, and consistency on every shot. Part of TeeBetter's Low Point Control training.

FAQ
Fat shots happen when your low point — the bottom of your swing arc — arrives before the ball. Low point control drills use feedback tools like towels, alignment sticks, or impact spray to show you exactly where your club hits the ground. Drills like Towel is Lava, The Clearout, and 3 Points train your low point; practice with a par to beat so you have a score to improve on each session.
Thin shots often share the same root cause as fat shots — an inconsistent low point. When you try to avoid the ground (to stop hitting fat), you sometimes catch the ball high on the face instead. Low point control drills train a consistent, ball-first strike so you eliminate both mishits at once. Track your score against par to see real improvement over time.
