The hit of the ball is very different depending on several factors, such as the place of the field from where you play or the strategy you are using to win a particular hole. It's very important to know when to use a stick or another, which shot is the best and which elements condition the shot. Therefore, below we show you the different types of strokes so that you know how to choose the best one on each occasion.First shotIt serves to start the game and is done from the tee. It's necessary to calculate the length and the design of the hole to be able to choose the suitable stick, although it's advised to use the wooden ones when the hole is long.DriveIt's used for long distance shots, both from the tee and from the fairway. It's the best to bring the ball as close to the green as possible.PuttIt's the ideal stick for short distance shots, with its shot the ball only rolls and doesn't detach itself from the ground. It requires greater precision, so it's necessary to calculate well the force and direction of the shot.ApproachIt's used to bring the ball closer to the green. It's a blow where rhythm is very important. In addition, the contact between the ball and the club must be smooth and controlled.Safety shotIt's a strategic hit that's made to place the ball in a more favorable position in the next shot. Mostly it's used to avoid obstacles such as water, a bunker or any other element.ChipIt's a short and low shot to approach the ball to the green. The iron that's chosen depends on the distance to reach the green.PunchFor this type of shot a shorter swing than usual is performed and is usually used to prevent the ball from hitting the branches of the trees. It also minimizes the effect of the wind. It's a shot with which distance is lost, but rewarded with control.Flop A shot totally opposite to the previous one, since it's used to achieve a greater flight, enough to surpass any obstacle.Now that you have it a little clearer, we hope that you come to Golf Pollença to practice your strokes. And if you need us to advise you, sign up to our academy and learn from the best professionals.

If you like to practice golf in Mallorca, we'll give you some recommendations so you can enjoy this sport to the fullest.At Golf Pollença (north of the island) we encourage you to pay attention to these tips and put them into practice.Take note and vibrate with golf in Mallorca (near Pollensa Bay)Here are some indications that will come in handy so you don't despair on the green. Pay attention.-Not having warmed up enoughAlthough it may seem to you that it's not as necessary as in other more intense sports, it's key to start off on the right foot. The same as practicing with some balls. For example, professional golfers begin to warm up an hour and a half before playing. And they do, among other things, with elastic bands in the gym. Remember, on the other hand, that warming up is not equivalent to those stretches that we recommend for you after your sports session.-Not having a clear game strategyIt's very important to be clear about the way you play before you start. If you want to remedy a habitual failure of those who aren't great strategists, shot to the green and not to the flag from the rough.-Make excusesFor example, if you play in our club, near the bay of Pollensa and the Serra de Tramuntana, never blame wind or rain. Turn around these excuses and think about how you can use these conditions against other players.-Choose the stableford formatInstead, we recommend the medal. Consider that all hits will count.In short, if you want golf to compensate you, apply these tips and don't improvise.
