The mind must be open to the integration of multiple sources in creating a golf shot. Full Swing.....Horizontal Hinging lower than Angled Short shots....a lot of golfers place the ball back in their stance with the hitting motion and angled hinging which creates a lower ball flight....the same length swing with horizontal hinging and the ball placed towards the middle or in line with the left arm will produce a high shot.... You have to watch it...TGM becomes complex with the short game....you think the full swing is difficult.....the choices you have with the short game are huge. So for a Full Swing only normal ball position.... Horizontal Hinge = Low Trajectory Angled Hinge = Mid-Trajectory Vertical Hinge = High (or vertical) Trajectory DG Cool man. Thanks for that. birdie_man View Public Profile Send a private message to birdie_man Find all posts by birdie_man
