How to Hit High and Low Shots

Starting with ball position at address Sue Shapcott shows how to get the ball to fly higher or lower than usual to keep it under trees or clear an obstacle.

For the more technically minded golfers, I was hitting a 7-iron and here are the launch angle numbers from the video:

With the ball at the normal/center position, the launch angle was 21 degrees;

With the ball ball back in my stance, the launch angle was 18.5 degrees; and

With the ball forward in my stance, the launch angle was 22.5 degrees.
