Monty on Trajectory

I'm constantly on the lookout for new approaches of making the basics less complicated to apply, and these days I even have a truly specific method to trajectory. In reality, it's so easy that I'm surprised I didn't stumble throughout it faster.

I am a tremendous believer that controlling trajectory is greater vital that controlling shot form. I recognize that is going against what lots of instructors teach but as long as you may hit one consistent shot shape, you can play maximum guides. You might also ought to lay up at a pointy dogleg that bends the incorrect manner in your shot form. Big deal -- it is easy sufficient to do.

However, except you may hit your shot better or decrease whilst you want to, you might not be capable of hit below trees or over limitations. You might not be able to keep the ball low into a wind or hit it high to take gain of a tailwind. In my e-book, controlling trajectory is the greater useful skill.

On Tuesday night's Golf Channel Academy Colin Montgomerie had an amazingly simple approach to trajectory that you can use RIGHT NOW, without any practice whatsoever. I was blown away by the simplicity of it.

Are you prepared for this?

• When you need a high trajectory, hit your normal full shot. The spin imparted to the ball will make it go high.
• When you need a low trajectory, hit a shot at less than full power -- in other words, hit a knockdown shot. You won't get as much spin on the ball so it will fly lower.

Now obviously when you hit that knockdown shot it won't go as far as the full shot, so you take a longer club to get the distance you need.

And it follows that while you're hitting downwind you will hit the whole shot, and whilst you're hitting into the wind you will hit the knockdown shot.

Here's an interesting fact: When hitting into the wind, Monty pointed out that the knockdown shot will travel farther than the full shot even if you use the same club with both shots. That's because the extra spin on the full shot will cause the ball to balloon into the air and fall short.

And do you want to know what makes this such an incredible tip? In order to adjust your trajectory this way, you don't have to alter your setup or ball position one little bit! You just set up normally and hit your full or knockdown shot.

Like I stated, it is dirt simple and almost foolproof. What more can you ask for from a golfing tip? Thank you, Monty!
