Changing Trajectory with the Stroke
Changing Trajectory with the Stroke
Changing the stroke is riskier, but can be more powerful than simple setup changes
To change your trajectory by changing the swing, you can make the following adjustments. Keep in mind that you'll often make multiple changes at the same time:
- Swing wider, slower, and smoother
- Shorten the finish
- Swing more vertical
- Keep the wrist more flat instead of cupped
- Move contact location closer to the ball
To hit the ball higher, simply do the opposite:
- Swing narrower and quicker especially with the release
- Swing to a full finish
- Swing more horizontal
- Keep the wrist more extension
- Strike the sand further behind the ball
