Playing golf in the wind is something that all great players must learn. It is great to be able to play stocks, but to become a real elite, you must know how to play a role in elements.

Tom Kite knows this fact. When he grows up and learns the competition in Texas, he cuts his teeth almost every day. When he continued to win the 1992 U.S. Open, his perseverance achieved achievements and competed on the huge pebble beach golf course.

As early as 1979, the kite shared some of his secrets with him, in order to follow Golf magazine, You can read below.

Tom Kit’s knocking key

I grew up in Texas, and some people said that the wind would never stop blowing. This is not the case, but it is really enough to make some special photos necessary. One of them is knocking or punching. The shot keeps the ball low -key and provides you with greater control than normal shooting. The knocking is not only in the wind, but also in the cross -border. There, the wind will blow out too high shots.

To play this shot, you should use more clubs that are more under normal conditions, so that you don’t have to work hard to swing to make the ball achieve the goal. This is very important because it is difficult to hit by playing under strong winds.

The club’s attic determines the height of the ball in the impact. Therefore, I suggest you put the ball towards your right foot towards your posture. This will make the club stand out and put your hand on the head of the club. This position is not only an address, but also ideal in terms of influence. You don’t want to play in normal positions, because this will put your hand on the ball, so the club will have too many lofts when hitting.

Another help that keeps your hands ahead of the club head is to increase a greater weight on the left side of the address. Then, put it on the back instead of transferring weight to the right, but put it on the left. This will lead to shorter shoulders and short guards. However, think about it, the club you use is at least more than usual. Therefore, no big swing is needed.

Just try relax and easy swing. Most amateur golf players tend to swing in the wind because they think they must do so. This is what you must learn not to do.

For example, I usually hit 8 Iron 135 or more. However, when playing in the wind, I may use up to 4 iron according to the conditions.

One of the problems of playing this shot is that the ball may hit the right side of the target. This happened because both hands may bring too much lead, so that they do not allow the facial facial facial facial. As a compensation, I opened my position slightly on the address, which enabled me to clear the left side easier on the hem, so that the club was at a square position at the impact point.

Another thing to remember is that because the ball is low, it will not stop quickly, and you must allow some running. However, don’t use it too much-under normal circumstances, few amateur enthusiasts hit the ball under green, and it is much less in the wind.

I like to play down the shot, and I believe that I have played with most people in the tour. Over the years, it has saved me countless strokes. This is one of the main reasons I have performed in the Florida Championship and the British Open. But my comfort in the shooting game only appeared after practicing for a few hours. This is what you need. But remember that when you master this photo, you also have the wind.

Here are three short keys to perform low.

1. Play

Playing the ball backwards, the weight of the left foot is slightly higher than usual. This combination stood out the club and put your hand on the ball.

2. Shorten the back row

Because you will use more than usual clubs, you only need short and smooth guards to reach the target and make the ball boring.

3. Put your hand in front

The important thing is to keep your hands leading. If you find yourself hitting the ball right, just open your position to remove your hips faster.
