Towering Trajectory

The highs and lows of smashing windows!

By Jeff Ritter

When practising different trajectories, I like to imagine knocking the windows out of a tall skyscraper. To achieve lower shots remember these rules: ball back, weight
left, grip down, swing and a soft pace. Higher shots are just the opposite: ball progressively more forward, weight right, grip full length, full swing and a faster pace.

The one key that most people miss is the “SPEED” of the swing. Faster swing speeds launch the ball up, whereas slower speeds help keep it down. Grab a five or six-iron and see how many windows you can knock out just by changing your set and speed, all with the same club. You’re on your way to becoming a true shot maker!
