trapping the golf ball

[ggolferboy123]

i hit down already on the ball but this trapping the ball feeling was way different, my pro helped me out one day. but for some reason i lost that feeling of being able to trap the ball, like i know people say do drills and whatnot but i did it within like 5 shots doing what he told me. i can't repeat this feeling! someone give me advice. i know i don't have to do drills etc its just something simple but i forget what it was!!

If you hit down on the ball, have a flat/bowed left wrist at impact, and strike the ball first, you're already "trapping" the ball.

Keep in mind, "trapping" the ball is just a feeling. It doesn't actually happen, if it did, the ball would bury into the ground.

As shortstop said, keep that left wrist flat at impact and dont flip it (thats usually when you loose this trap feeling) - how are your chips? Do you have the feeling you trap the balls with your chips?

Another way to trap the ball is aim the club to hit a spot on the ground maybe a half inch in front of the ball. The club will still be descending when it hits the ball.
