Hitting the "Under Over" Shot

Another tip from over at the golftipsmag.Com web site. I've talked about hitting knockdown shots numerous times, but I located this cool video that now not only demonstrates the technique but also consists of suggestions for things like deciding on the right club to hold the ball low. (In case you need to preserve it underneath tree branches, as an instance.)

Here's PGA teacher Jeff Johnson with the demonstration:

Here's the big key, folks: You aren't swinging out of your shoes trying to hit the ball hard. You're taking more club than normal -- at least one or two clubs, according to Jeff. You're keeping your weight forward, more on your lead leg -- that forces you to hit down on the ball. And you make a shorter backswing and finish, which makes you generate less backspin so the ball stays lower.

A knockdown shot regularly makes greater experience than a complete shot, even when you may make the overall shot without problem, honestly because it's a extra managed shot. But understanding the way to hit the knockdown is essential if you have to preserve the ball low.

And don't forget -- you may also get an concept which club will provide you with the right trajectory via using this tip that got here from GC's Charlie Rymer. It's so easy that I'm surprised extra instructors don't teach it.
