Sometimes off the T I'm having to hit under trees   - how do we hit a punch shot low one 

 

 

 

[IanK]

It's quite easy JH. Just take a longer club and reduce the loft as much as you can.

[J.H.Buchanan]

yeah on Chicago Oaks I can't get under the tree with the Driver I guess I'm suppose to go around it - I even de lofted it 

[IanK]

I suppose some branches are just too low to hit under. Try a putter! ;-)

The best two clubs for this are the 7W and a Hybrid. By de lofting down it should work pretty well for you and I myself have become quite proficient at it due to the fact that my ball loves trees it seems. Lol.

Those dang trees at Medinah have forced me to learn to hit good lunch shots in this game! Lol

Mebby I don't think your alone there as Medinah punishes you for the slightest miss hit in true US Open fashion. With that said I love that course.

Yea. I play Medinah most of the time simply for the challenge. If I shoot even pay there on TP it's a great day.

Thanks Greenie thats what I needed to hear my caddie has my club selection all jacked up - Going to go switch some clubs out.

Honestly... Works just as well with a 4 iron or 7 iron really just adjust to lowest trajectory and swing away. For higher trajectory clubs, just don't swing as hard.

Some shots just cannot be duplicated.

 

Like this one:

great video nice entertainment - what was the reasoning to hit the ball that way so low etc.

Probably just because he could!

What I like about the 7W is that in the new deep rough it gets great distance out of it even on the low shots and I have replaced the 2H with it. If I try to use the 4I out of the heavy stuff I don't get anywhere near the % of distance that I do with that 7W. Always tinkering with clubs in this game and love that about the game.

Ah... Good to know. Starting to make a case for the 7W finding a spot in my bag!do you drop the 3I in exchange?

I love the 7w, can't wait until they make it look different then the Driver..

[mebby]

Lol. Hadn't even noticed that. Maybe when they do that they'll actually put the ball on a Tee when we are on the tee box.
