How to Fix Thin Golf Shots - Expert Instruction

Thin shots (also called blading or skulling) occur when you strike the ball above its equator with the leading edge of the club. The result is a low, hot shot that flies too far with no height control. At Chronicle Golf, we use TrackMan to diagnose and fix the root causes of thin contact.

Understanding the Problem

The Issue: A thin shot happens when the club's leading edge contacts the middle or upper portion of the ball. These shots fly low and hot, often running through greens or failing to clear hazards. Loss of distance control makes scoring difficult.

Common Causes:

  • Standing up through impact
  • Early extension of hips
  • Trying to help the ball up
  • Loss of spine angle
  • Swinging too hard
  • Poor rhythm and tempo
