Marcus Armitage: How I hit it low
Marcus Armitage is back down The Shack to show us how to hit it low.
Marcus Armitage is a professional golfer who will be playing on the European Tour from 2017.
Marcus was born in Lancashire but moved to Yorkshire to pursue his golfing ambition, becoming a member of Howley Hall Golf Club.
After turning professional in 2008 Armitage earned his living on the EuroPro Tour and more recently the Challenge Tour, where a top 5 Order of merit finish earned him his place on the European Tour.
The 29-year old joined the Pro down the Shack to give us a bit of help in how to hit it low..
A low one is a bit different to every other shot because I don’t use a full swing. I normally take a bit more club, middle of the stance and just nudge it so there’s no spin and it’s flat.
Once they both dissected the shot they sat back down to talk about the key points when hitting a low shot..
- Move the ball further back in the stance
- Smooth swing and hold the finish
- flatten the ball flight
