Three trajectories. One club. All it takes is moving the ball an inch.
Most golfers reach for a different club when they need to change trajectory. Dr Alison Curdt shows you there’s a simpler way. In this short video, Dr Alison Curdt walks through how ball position alone can produce a high, medium, or low-launching pitch shot — no club change required. It’s a practical technique for any golfer looking to add versatility and control around the greens.
3 Key Takeaways
Ball forward = higher launch. Moving the ball slightly toward your front foot — with a touch of forward body lean — increases the launch angle at impact.
Ball middle = your stock pitch. The neutral position, with weight 60/40 favouring the front side, produces a reliable, traditional trajectory for most situations.
Ball back = lower, controlled flight. Shifting the ball just behind your midline creates more shaft lean, launching the ball lower — ideal for headwinds or shots under overhanging branches.
