One of the greatest challenges for golfers is getting their ball to fly low. Apart from equipment and swing mechanics there are many factors that can influence a golf ball’s low trajectory. Although there is no one-size fits all solution, there are some things golfers can do to improve their ball flight.
Among the most obvious factors are the stance and grip. The ball's flight and impact will be minimized if the hands are not in front. An upright stance with your feet slightly forward will increase the power that the ball draws towards the target. A wider stance leads to a flatter shoulder tilt that will improve the ball's flight and a higher strike.
Golf ball flight can be affected by the club head, grip, and stance. In fact, the target line and the golf ball's flight are closely related. A golf ball's flight can also be affected by its club's centre of gravity. Also, a properly compressed ball can give a strong and penetrating flight. In addition, a delofted golf club face can help to prevent the club from being flipped through impact.
Spin is another important aspect of a golf ball’s flight. The right spin will increase the ball's ability to stay in the air for longer and reduce backspin and hooks. On the other hand, having too much spin will result in a shot that climbs into the air quickly, and will not reach the target. However, the ball will hit the target quickly if there is a balance in the spin.

Woods are clubs that are longer and more flexible. They allow players to be closer to the pin, but still have the ability to reach the green. They are usually used for long drives.
Irons are shorter clubs designed to assist players in hitting the ball closer to pin. They are often used to chip and putt short distances.
Specialized clubs are used to control and direct the ball's flight path. They are normally used for shots requiring precise direction.
Putters are small clubs which can be used to roll the ball towards cups. These are short putts that players use to play.
The type of shot that you are looking to make will determine the type of club you choose. Different types of shots work better in different clubs.
Drivers, for example, are helpful in hitting the ball further away than the hole. Wooden woods are excellent for driving long distances. Irons are excellent for short shots.
