A week or so ago I did a post called A PGA Tour Card Is the Real Trick , about trick shot wizard Wesley Bryan winning twice on the Web.com Tour and locking up his PGA Tour card for next year. I also suggested that practicing some trick shots could help improve your game.
Well, it seems that Golf Digest agrees with me and did an article on the very same thing! It's called Trick Shots Can Make You a Better Golfer. Here's How .
I'm no longer going to copy the complete article right here -- it explains how trick shots can assist your game -- but I did need to mention the 2 drills that it recommends to help you get better.
One is the 'basic shotmaker' drill. You without a doubt take a 6-iron (to be honest, I believe a 7-iron or 5-iron could paintings simply as properly), select a goal and try to hit a draw or hook around it. Keep attempting until you are a success, then try to hit a fade or slice across the identical target. Again, maintain attempting until you're successful after which pass back to the draw/hook. If you spend ten mins at this drill every time you practice, you'll soon get in which you may draw or fade on command.
The other drill is the 'conventional trick shot', which Tiger made famous. You simply soar the ball in your wedge some times earlier than smacking it in mid-air. The article says this may improve your coordination and wrist/hand strength, however I bet it'll additionally assist you learn how to discover the lowest of your swing so that you do not move proper under the ball in thick rough.
Luke Benoit, the teacher Golf Digest talked to for the article, suggests a trick shot session -- he gives more ideas for things you can try -- as an alternative to just beating balls on the range. He says you'll be a better golfer for the effort.
It feels like greater fun too.
