Deliberately controlling a shot's trajectory — hitting it lower or higher than your stock height to fit the situation. Height is governed by dynamic loft (the loft the face delivers at impact) and angle of attack, so flighting is mostly setup: ball back and hands forward to take loft off, ball forward with a fuller release to add it. Tour players flight wedges down to tighten spin and distance control; everyone flights shots down in wind, because a lower, lower-spin ball bores through instead of ballooning. A simulator makes the skill visible — same club, and you watch launch angle and apex move shot to shot as you change the delivery.
