When you watch the very best players in the world you will notice that very often they start to play knockdown shots. So what is the difference between a full golf shot and a knockdown shot? Well, a full golf swing and a full shot will see many of the characteristics that you’re used to. So getting setup with a nice powerful stance, weight nice and even, taking the club back wide, stretching the arms out away from the body, turning the shoulders fully. Again, that left arm, nice and straight that go parallel to the ground, shifting that weight through, rotating, and then turning up to a nice full finish position. So those are the characteristics that you’ll see generally within a full golf shot. Now a knockdown shot is really a player trying to gain more control over the ball flight. It is not an exercise in hitting the ball further; it’s an exercise in hitting the ball less distance with the same clubs, but just trying to get that control.

It’s something that a lot of players do when it’s windy, something that a lot of players do when the pressure is on. So what are the difference between that technique and the full shot? The differences are, your stance generally will be a little bit narrower because the overall swing length is going to be less. There will be weight on the left-hand side rather than even. And then as the club is taken away it won’t reach the same full position. Generally speaking, the shoulders won’t rotate quite as much, and the arm will get to about a three-quarter position. The weight, which is a little bit forward addressed anyway, will stay forwards, and the finish position will also be short. So visually the differences between the two shots – I’ll pull a couple of balls across here. So with my full swing be a nice full turn back and through, away. Nice and even address. Hitting that ball away, so my normal seven iron distance there. And then what I’m going to be doing, narrowing that stance, add a little bit of weight left, shorting down that swing back and through, and just trying to control that ball flight a little bit more. So visually that’s the difference, technically that’s the difference. And now we’re going to have a little bit more of a look into the intricacies of the shot.
