To improve contact control, you must first determine your current strike pattern. Do you find the center of the face on a very regular basis? Or do you make contact with the golf ball all over the face? Or maybe your contact has a bias or a tendency - predominantly towards the toe, heel, high or low on the face?
There are many means to take yourself through a very simple assessment. It doesn't matter whether you use a driver, lob wedge or a six iron. I like to use six golf balls and I mark the back edge of each ball with a dry erase marker. You can also use face tape, if you prefer, or you can spray foot spray on the face of your club. Hit each ball and a visible imprint pattern will be left on the club face.
And if your face contact is not centered, what should you do? Wash, rinse and repeat. Don't spit the bit and go to some other swing feeling. Do your best and let the skill develop over time. All I'm asking is three to five minutes each time you practice.
Low point laneway is the most high-mileage play that I can share with you to enhance centeredness of contact. However, if you continue to struggle with contact, I have a higher strength prescription to address your specific miss tendency:
If you continue to see contact toward the heel of the club (or even occasional contact with the hosel), we can safely say that the clubhead is moving out, farther away from you than it was at address. This could happen due to your mass shifting or it could be over-extension, or it could be some funky swing plan at the bottom of the swing arc. Regardless of the reason why, the cure is Jump the Fence.
Lay an alignment stick down or tee up a series of golf tees in a straight line to form a fence (you can also scrape a line in the turf using a golf tee).
But here's what we can do. We graduate from experiencing what it's like to miss something really far on the forward side. We overemphasize to find the optimum to this drill. It's called Linked Divots. It's a progressive exercise to develop landing control that moves further to the left, one swing then two swings then three swings.
I can tell you with surety, with certainty - do this drill three to five minutes in between attempts at striking the ball, and if you start with an error of landing the plane short of the runway, almost always the next shot is absolutely flush. And if it's not, you've landed the club too far to the left.
That sums up the King of all skills. Your surest path to consistent ball striking is enhancing your ability to find centers of contact. Not toe, not heel and not the big ball first. Not moving a bunch of earth before the golf ball.
Why? Well, home plate umpires in MLB, and I believe umpires in AAA along with umpires working certain special games, are the few who have the luxury of having another umpire on each of the bases. In the lower minor leagues, I believe there are typically only two base umpires, and in much, if not all, of amateur baseball, there are typically only two umpires total, one home plate ump, and one base ump who moves around the diamond depending on the number and position of runners on base. (Unfortunately, sometimes one umpire is unlucky enough to have his partner not show up, and he's force to make all the calls.)
In baseball, the strike zone is the volume of space through which a pitch must pass in order to be called a strike even if the batter does not swing. The strike zone is defined as the volume of space above home plate and between the batter's knees and the midpoint of their torso. Whether a pitch passes through the zone is decided by an umpire, who is generally positioned behind the catcher.
Strikes are desirable for the pitcher and the fielding team, as three strikes result in a strikeout of that batter. A pitch that misses the strike zone is called a ball if the batter does not swing at it. Balls are desirable for the batter and the batting team, as four balls allow the batter to take a "walk" to first base as a base on balls.
The strike zone is a volume of space, a vertical right pentagonal prism. Its sides are vertical planes extending up from the edges of home plate. The official rules of Major League Baseball, define the top of the strike zone as the midpoint between the top of the batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the bottom of the strike zone is at the hollow beneath the kneecap, both determined from the batter's stance as the batter is prepared to swing at the pitched ball, although the de facto enforced strike zone can vary based on the umpire's perspective. The official rules define a pitch as a strike "if any part of the ball passes through any part of the strike zone", with the ball required to have not bounced. Thus, a pitch that touches the outer boundary of the zone is as much a strike as a pitch that is thrown right down the center. A pitch passing outside the front of the strike zone but curving so as to enter this volume farther back (without being hit) is sometimes called a "back-door strike". Various other rulebooks for baseball and softball define the strike zone slightly differently.
A batter who accumulates three strikes in a single batting appearance has struck out and is ruled out (with the exception of an uncaught third strike); a batter who accumulates four balls in a single appearance has drawn a base on balls (or walk) and is awarded advancement to first base. In very early iterations of the rules during the 19th century, it took up to nine balls for a batter to earn a walk; however, to make up for this, the batter could request the ball to be pitched high, low, or medium.[1]
Originally, the word "strike" was used literally: the batter striking at the ball in an effort to hit it. For example, the 11th rule of the Knickerbocker Rules (1845) read "Three balls being struck at and missed and the last one caught, is a hand-out." There was no adverse consequence if the batter chose not to swing, i.e. the called strike did not exist, the result being batters prepared to wait all day for "their" pitch. It was not until the 1858 NABBP convention that a rule was adopted authorizing the umpire to impose a penalty strike for such conduct: "Should a striker stand at the bat without striking at good balls repeatedly pitched to him, for the purpose of delaying the game or of giving advantage to a player, the umpire, after warning him, shall call one strike, and if he persists in such action, two and three strikes. When three strikes are called, he shall be subject to the same rules as if he had struck at three balls."[2] The called ball first appeared in the rules of 1863, similarly as a discretionary penalty imposed on the pitcher for persistently delivering "unfair" balls.[3]
Whether or not a pitch was "unfair" or the batter was being unreasonably picky was left entirely to the umpire's judgment. Well into the 1870s, umpires were reluctant to make such calls,[4] since they were viewed as penalties for unsportsmanlike play; but by the 1880s they had become routine, and the modern view took hold, that every pitch results in either a swing, a ball or a called strike. The first rule leading to the creation of a defined strike zone was enacted by the American Association before the 1886 season. As explained in The Sporting Life on March 17, 1886, "the ball must be delivered at the height called for by the batsman. If at such height it passes over any part of the plate then it is a strike. The idea is to give the pitcher a chance against some cranky umpires who compelled the twirlers to almost cut the plate in two before a strike would be called, even if the height was right."[5] The following year, the National League created the full strike zone, eliminating the batter's right to call the height of the pitch, and instead requiring the umpire to call a strike on any pitch that "passes over home plate not lower than the batsman's knee, nor higher than his shoulders."[6]
The Official Baseball Rules (Rule 8.02(a), including Comment) state that objections to judgment calls on the field, including balls and strikes, shall not be tolerated, and that any manager, coach, or player who leaves his dugout or field position to contest a judgment call will first be warned, and then ejected.[11]
In 2009, a new system called Zone Evaluation was implemented in all 30 Major League ballparks, replacing the QuesTec system; the new system records the ball's position in flight more than 20 times before it reaches home plate.[15] Much of the early resistance from Major League umpires to QuesTec had diminished and the implementation of the new Zone Evaluation system in all the parks went largely unmentioned to fans. Like the old system, the new system will be used to grade umpires on accuracy and used to determine which umpires receive postseason assignments, but games themselves are still subject to their error.[16]
As of 2022, Minor League Baseball has been testing an automated-balls-and-strikes system on an experimental basis for several seasons. While the umpire continues to call balls and strikes, an automated system determines the strike zone and could be used when a team challenged the umpire's call. Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said in October 2022 that this method would eventually be used in Major League games. ESPN reported that all AAA games would use the method in the 2023 season.[17][18] For 2023, the system was used for half of all games, with the other half using umpires, with ABS used for up to three challenges per team for each game.[19]
The female a 60ish gram rat even though she weighs 950 grams and the male usually a 40ish gram rat and he weighs 630 grams. The first year I was feeding 10% body weight, but I have never fed over a 60 gram rat. Thats what the breeder always gives me, and I never argue it because they seem the right size. Honestly I think if I upped the rat size they would be terrified of them lol. My female has always been a great eater. She would always come out and strike instantly. So this is out of character for her. My male however has always been finicky and shy.
