Kerrod Gray on Playing a Lob Shot (Video)

Here's any other tip from Down Under. This time, Kerrod Gray teaches you the address role for gambling a lob shot.

I suppose what drew my interest to this video turned into how truly Kerrod has described ensuring your ball role is continually in the identical place so that you can use the jump of the membership to get that first-rate high lob shot.

• Use the the length of the head of your lob wedge to make sure your heels are the same distance apart each time.
• Place the ball opposite the instep of your lead foot.
• Shift your weight forward in your stance so the middle of your chest is over the ball. (He says your shirt buttons, but some golf shirts don't have buttons!)
• Point the butt of the shaft at your belly button. (That's where your belt buckle will be if you're wearing a belt.)

These four keys make sure that you are centered over the ball, your stance is narrow enough that you won't move around over the ball, and you use the full loft of the club (and hence the bounce) at impact.

While a number of you could find his "keep the cup" idea beneficial, I suspect lots of you'll be more steady in case you just assume of getting the shaft pointed at your belly button at the lowest of your swing -- or possibly that the shaft is pointed straight at the floor at the bottom of your swing. Use whichever notion allows you get that shaft vertical at impact.
