Do better golfers actually see thier clubhead strike the ball when hitting a shot?

i doubt it...they may claim to but the club head is moving around 110+ mph  at the point of impact\ni see the clubhead strike the ball very well when i putt

It's now called a strong 3 wood, and depends on who hit it. I've seen Tiger hit his 15 degree 3 wood, 270 yards from a fairway!! Sure can replace driver, easier to hit.

I think it will not affect your game too much because the most important thing is your technique. For example, even if you give a 'rubbish ball' to Tiger Woods, he can still play under 70 strokes. Anyway the most important thing is your technique and not the ball.

Yes they can, like the answer above you can't see the true shot, plus you try to hit shots that work well with the game.  Those shots will hurt your regular game.  Example I played several that all you had to do is hit the ball low and hard with a 7 iron and it would give me credi for a 280 yard drive.

It's hard to watch golf on tv and enjoy it.  It doesn't really lend itself to tv well.  The only thing I can say is to actually enjoy playing golf.  Then you realize how good these guys actually are, and how nice the courses are that they play on.

Hi.\n\nI'm 14 years old with a 12 handicap and two weeks ago I hit that kind of a shot. I'm used to hitting perfect shots as I am a pretty good and consistent golfer. But the other day was the best. On the 155 yard Par-3 at my course, I hit a 6-iron. It was so perfect that it didn't kame any noise as I struck it and I didn't feel anything at all in my hands at contact. It went high and dead straight. It stopped dead, 3 feet away from the hole. I then proceeded to make the birdie putt.

You are most likely trying to hit the ball too hard.  The golf swing for most people should be a controlled, slower movement.  Allowing the club to do "all the work".  Slow down and move the club head through the ball where you can make contact.  Develop a tempo/rhythm of the club going back on a nice even pace and then coming down and through the ball at just a little faster pace than the backswing.  It doesn't have to be much faster.   Just a slight acceleration.   Don't worry about distance until you get more consistent.  Once you get a feel for the club swinging you will have more success.

Yes. Thank goodness I had three witnesses too. It was on a hole that was only 170 yards, but what the heck. I had an opportunity to fill out a form at the clubhouse and answer questions about what type of club I used, what type of ball, shoes, glove, etc. It was fun and I had been playing for about six years when I did it. I originally thought I hit it past the green, but couldn't see until we looked in the hole. Fourth hole at San Jose Municipal Golf Course in California. Whee!

I've seen it done that way....although once it gets wet and dries it's REAL fast....not very indicative of the usual greens we amateurs play on ;)

I've never played it, but I know someone who did, and we were talking about it while watching.\n\nMe: What club did you hit?\nHim: I hit my 8 iron...all five times.\n\nApparently, there used to be no fringe, just straight green, meaning you wanted to avoid roll as much as possible.

I have a thought on this. I read your remarks and I have felt your pain with various people I've played with over the years. \n\nMy simple rule is this. I don't BS people, there are VERY FEW truly nice shots in a round of golf. Unless someone hits a really nice shot, I don't say anything. \n\nAnother thing on this, if someone tells you nice shot, thank them for it, don't just walk away all proud. If I take the time to tell someone they hit a good shot they darn well better acknowledge the fact that I noticed it and thank me! \n\nOther than that I think it's good etiquette to acknowledge a nice shot, but seriously, unless he steaked it to 3 feet or busted a wicked hooking three wood on the green from 260 yards, I don't say anything.

This is a good question with no easy answer. The best answer would be to practice the shot you're speaking about. Try it with different clubs and different swings. \n\nFor example, if you would normally hit a 7-iron, try to hit a knockdown 5-iron. Or try to hit a normal 6-iron, or perhaps try to hit your 7-iron a bit harder than normal.....note your results and then you'll have an advantage next time you come to that hole. \n\nGood luck.

Yo Mick! A "club foot"? \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_foot\n\nIf you're playing with me and you've got a club foot, I'll give you the one footers man....otherwise I think you're violating the rules of golf by striking the ball with something other than the head of your club!\n\nhttp://www.usga.org/playing/rules/rules_of_golf.html\n\nSee rule 14...

because they haven't tried it?? golf isn't really an everyday type of sport that is easily mastered..(let alone one that u grow up with)...it's also because it's what i call a "quite" sport, for many the definition of sport includes beer, loud chearing and chearleaders...

I think what you're asking is, should you line up the ball to strike the logo or not when teeing off. The answer is yes, you should strike the ball on the logo....this would be towards the seems, not on them, which is where you want to strike it.
