Today's quick tip comes from 2-time major championship winner Fuzzy Zoeller:
If you read and believe all the golf magazines on how to hit a knockdown shot, you would have to contort yourself in so many ways and think of so many things, it'd be hard to draw the club back. Also, people tend to swing quicker and harder when trying to follow those tips for a knockdown shot, which actually causes the ball to balloon more.
The key is to keep this crazy game as simple as possible. If you are a 6-iron away with your normal swing but you want to keep the ball low, take a 5- or even a 4-iron and grip down on the club a bit. Then, swing smoother than normal. This approach will put less spin on the ball, which will keep the flight of the ball lower, resulting in a knockdown shot.
