As with any part of your golf game when you change the way you do something you need a little time on the golf course to understand how those changes are going to affect things and how we can sort of settle in with those changes. Changing the ball flight particularly as we've talked about in this last section of videos changing how high we hit quite a fundamental part of what you do on the golf course and therefore needs time to adapt and adjust. One of the considerations might simply be the distance you hit the ball with your irons is now different to how it was previously. It might be that the ball is going higher therefore it's carrying further it might be that the the ball is going higher therefore when it lands it stops where your old ball flight might have gone and rolled a lot further. So spending time on the golf course on the driving range measuring how far how high and how much roll you're getting on your own shots is fundamentally important been able to take this new change out on the golf course. All the considerations might be that when you go and play you can look at taking on certain different shots let's imagine a whole lot of the 17th at the Sawgrass got through the top players championship you see at Sawgrass the famous island green So it's an island completely surrounded by water and a little flag right in the middle.

Now if you've got a low ball flight see hitting let's say 150 yards into that green with a 6 iron on a low 6 sign that ball's going to come down in the middle of that green to bounce in straight off the back into the water your going to have to lie about balls right at the very front of the green to try and get it to stop if it can stop a toll but if you can change the way you play and you can hit a more lofted shot into that maybe with a shorter clubs let's say a tie in from 150 hit the ball a little bit higher carries in the nicely lands on the green. Is that it's going to be an easy shot for you to play and if the flag is at the front of the green maybe it's a consideration that you know I could be a bit more aggressive here I could take this shot on whereas in the past it would have scared me. Now with my high flight I can take that flag on and you know I've driven on the wrong fairway and I'm looking up at some trees but I reckon I can go over those trees with this new ball flight relevant to the having to go under the trees with the old ball flight. So this high a ball flight opens up a few different opportunities to go over trees to go over a bunker and learn the ball and stop it to play the 17th at Sawgrass in a more aggressive fashion one thing he might have to be conscious of is if it's a high ball flight the wind will suddenly have more of an effect. So it's not all positive the low ball flight might have got in the wind now when you playing into the wind you hit the ball a lot higher stalls on the wind the wind has a bigger effect. Take the time to consider how the new ball flight the higher ball flight is going to take a difference make a difference to you next time you play on the golf course.
