Examples of a 'Low Ball Flight'.

Having the ability to manoeuvre your golf ball into play by deliberately changing it’s natural flight can be quite an advantage to have over your competitors. However I am sure it becomes very frustrating when you play yourself out of position by playing shots that have an un-wanted or un-controllable 'Ball Flight' that you did not intend to be play!

Understanding different 'Ball Flights' and their common swing causes is a vital part of understanding, controlling and improving your own 'Golf Swing'. Within this 'Fault Finder Heading' I am going to give a description of your problem 'Ball Flight' together with a list of common swing faults that maybe causing your un-wanted shot.

 

A Low Ball Flight has a very low trajectory angle when the golf ball is struck and flies lower than a normally flighted shot. This type of flight is created by loft being taken off your Clubhead by decreasing the Loft Angle when impacting the Ball. This type of Ball Flight has great penetrating qualities when flying through the air.

A Low Ball Flight is ideal for shots played under tall obstructions, such as trees, bushes etc.. that are positioned between you and your 'Target'. With this type of ball flight your ball lands with quite shallow angle and has quite an aggresive first by bouncing forward and roll along way before coming to rest. You can consider this type of ball flight if you require your ball to bounce short of a green and roll up onto the green to a safe finishing position. Also this type of flight has extremely good penetrating qualities when flying through the air so it is a useful flight to use when playing into a strong wind.

The 'Swing Path'.

               An example of different Swing Path's.

The term 'Outside to Inside' or 'Inside to Outside' refers to the path and direction your Hand & Arm Swing and your Clubhead is traveling on in relation to your 'Target Line' when impacting the Golf Ball.

  • An Important Point.

  • Your golf ball will fly on a straight line to your Target if your Address & Posture is squarely positioned to your 'Target Line' to suit the type of shot you intend to play. This positioning creates a foundation of 'Angles and Lines' for your 'Core Body Movements' to rotate around then as your 'Core Body Movements' rotate they will create space around your body for your 'Hand & Arm Swing' (Golf Swing) to move freely into, thus creating a natural 'Swing Plane' and 'Swing Path'.

     

    It is also vital that your Club's angle of attack is neither too steep nor too shallow in your 'Swing Plane' and 'Swing Path' when moving through your Hitting Area, which your 'Posture Positioning' will help to control!
