Q: Dear Chef, I miss almost every shot within 100 yards. How can I improve my distance control? —Kyle M., Phoenix
Technique is even more important for 100-yard shots because it is necessary generate a coherent trajectory to control the distance.
A good drill that I use with some of my high level players is to take three balls and hit them from different distances. Start at 20 yards, then move back five yards until you get to 50. Just make a distance control chart and see how far the ball carries from each spot.
