Improve Your Ball Flight

Improve your ball flight

- Steve Robinson

1 Common causes of too low a flight would be ball too far back or hands too far forward, thus delofting the club. An average handicap golfer might hit down by three or four degrees with an iron, so the low point will be four to five inches after the ball. To hit it higher, shallow out your angle of attack by having the ball further up in your stance, stay behind it at impact, as in this photo, and swing through to a high finish, rather than curtailing the follow-through.
