Default Re: lowering ball flight without drastic changes in swing

Hit a knockdown. Weight on front foot (and don't move it), ball even with back foot, pull club back low and inside (set at top below right shoulder), finish low.

Requires lots of practice to keep the ball straight and not come over the top.

It was a bitch to work through but worth it with my high ball flight.

The more natural it becomes, you can do it to various degrees.

This pretty much works as placing the ball back in the stance, just more complicated as it requires more timing and practice.

I don`t know for sure but actually despite the logic, my cousin (my normal golf partner) and i find we have a lower ball flight with a "normal" stiffness shaft instead of stiff one.

Maybe you could try it, otherwise, i myself find it difficult, unless i choose to punch it.

I actually have a punch draw for my driver in windy conditions.
People look at me like im a freak when i use it.

But basicly i don`t trust my swing, which is kind of sad really.

I find putting the ball back in my stance will make me come in more steeply (trying to get back to it) and I'll hit it with more spin and it balloons into the wind. I have to flatten my swing plan to keep it low.

Also, more flexible shafts tend to hit the ball higher, afaik. Don't know why you're different.
