An essential part of playing a successful game of golf is controlling the ball’s trajectory. With each shot you make, the trajectory of the ball is controlled by several things, including the angle of the hit, the club face, and the strike location.
One of the easiest ways to change the ball’s trajectory is to alter the position of the ball. When you place the ball more forward in your stance, you will swing the club higher, hitting the ball higher.
The opposite is true when you place the ball closer in your stance. Although moving the ball around your stance is a simple change, doing so may negatively impact the quality of your shot.
Another way of changing the ball’s trajectory is to adopt a wider stance than normal. This provides a stable base so you can add loft to your clubface.
Finally, consider your club grip and follow-through. For a lower shot, hold the grip higher than usual. Additionally, do not continue your follow-through past your ribcage. Higher shots, conversely, require following through fully and finishing high.
