| The key to a successful knockdown shot is a short arm swing combined with a full hinge of the wrists. Retain that hinge into the downswing so the hands lead the clubhead into impact-a must to keep the ball low. Make a one-piece turn through the ball, with your hands, arms, shoulders and hips rotating together at the same pace. Doing so keeps your club on plane. Complete the knockdown with a limited follow-through but a full release of the body. |
