Master Trajectories To Improve Golf Score
Learning to control trajectory is an important golf skill. It can help you out of trouble spots when you need it the most, like when you need to get out of a clump of trees. Controlling trajectory can help cut strokes and improve your golf score.
Your club has two lofts. First is the loft created by the clubface’s angle when the shaft is perpendicular to the ground. This is the loft the club was designed with. The other loft is the club’s “effective” loft, the loft created at impact. Thus, you can use the same club to generate high or low shots if you can control the loft.
Here are some simple golf tips to improve your golf game by learning to control shot trajectories:
A low trajectory is ideal on bare dirt, when in rough, punching out of trees, or in a strong wind. It’s a safe play because even bad shots can turn out okay because the ball keeps rolling. With this shot, the ball has more backspin than usual, so you can learn to make it stop short on some shots.
First, position the ball in line with your back ear. Your hands should be close to your front thigh and in front of the ball both at set-up and at impact. Lean your weight forward to make sure the club pinches the ball against the ground.
Medium trajectory is used the least. It’s perfect for medium to light rough or normal fairway conditions, when there are no obstacles. It’s more difficult to make solid contact than with a low trajectory shot. The swing is more like a sweeping motion.
Position the ball in line with your belt buckle. Keep your hands under your belt buckle, and lean forward slightly. Also, lean the shaft forward slightly to help get solid contact. Distribute your weight evenly over both feet.
High trajectory requires lots of practice, but is a tool worth developing. Use it when the ball is resting on a cushion of grass and you need altitude quickly. This can be tricky. It’s not always easy to slide the club under the ball while leaning the shaft back.
Position the ball in line with your left ear. Place the hands slightly back of center. If your hands are too far back, you could hit a low, skulled shot. Aim left of the target and open the clubface. Don’t become too enamored of this shot as it can cost you a lot of strokes.
Being able to predictably hit shots with different trajectories is a critical skill, and a key for you to improve your golf score. Practice these shots until you can control their trajectory. If you’re serious about wanting to improve your golf game, learn to control trajectory.
