The no. 1 thing that is the same for every player of every level is hitting the ball solidly. So how do we hit the ground in a predictable spot?
Lying an alignment stick down where the ball is, concentrate on turning about that stick, bumping your trail hip ahead of the stick and then rotate through the ball keeping your hips ahead of that stick. The idea of turn-bump-turn will help you understand how to make solid contact.
