Adam & Elliott’s question:   What are the key mechanics to getting your ball flight to have a high and low trajectory?

Team Pro Impact Answer:  The flight of a golf ball comes down to physics, angles and speed.  Because there is so much to elaborate on with this subject we will list a few keys to flight it high and a few keys to keeping it down.  Keep in mind that we advocate accepting your regular ball flight pending you are using the proper equipment.  To attempt to flight the ball higher than regular can cause poor swing mechanics and can be detremental to your game.

To flight it high:  Move your ball position forward slightly.  Create a launching angle with your shoulders.  Make sure your finish is high.  Open the club face up on back swing.   Take less club and swing aggressively.  To get extra elevation you may want to cut/work the golf ball.

To flight it low:  Move your golf ball position back slightly.  Level off your shoulders at address.  Make sure your finish position is low or abbreviated.  Hood the club slightly on your back swing.  Take extra club and swing smoothly.  Look to draw the ball for lower flight as well.

As far as the impact position is concerned:  To flight it high a full release is very helpful.  To flight it low a held on trap/block release is suggested.

Jim’s Question:  “Why do I hit the ball fat?”

Team Pro Impact Answer: First off, for those who do not know what “fat” means.  It is simply hitting or contacting the grass/turf prior to contacting the golf ball.  Jim, there could be a few reasons you are having this issue including your ball position or even a pre-mature releasing of your wrist hinge (called casting) that could be causing this problem, but I’m willing to make an educated guess that you suffer from the most common fault by golfer’s that share your problem.  That is a suspect weight transfer.  We as golfers are going to “ground out” or reach the bottom of our golf swing arc a very high percentage of the time where our weight or center of gravity is at impact.  If our weight remains on our trailing side we will suffer from this issue constantly.  We must pivot our energy and weight around our center of gravity (spine) in a consistent balanced motion and our ball position should simply accommodate our swing which will result in ball first contact.  If our ball position is slightly forward of center our weight needs to be transferred to our leading leg to ensure ball first contact.  Great Question, we hope this helped.

Do to the number of questions we receive it may take a while for us to get to yours but we will do our very best to answer all in a timely fashion.
