Being able to hit a solid but deliberately low trajectory golf shot, when you have got slightly out of position on the golf course, can make a big difference to your score. Hitting the golf ball a long way but on a low trajectory, to avoid over hanging tree branches for example, is a great recovery shot to be able to play when needed and can mean that you still hit the green in regulation, even though you are playing from a less than ideal position. Here we look at how to do just that successfully.

This video looks at what is happening during your down swing to cause your golf shots to miss the target and fly high and right. By understanding this and then correcting your body movement, you’ll start hitting your golf shots much straighter and on target.
