Ever get stuck in a simply bad lie -- deeeeeep tough or in a moderate hole simply off the inexperienced -- and you do not know a shot that may dig it out?
This weird little shot that I determined over at golftipsmag.Com just is probably the answer. Lee Huntley (LPGA/PGA trainer) did the video. I'll upload some observations underneath it.
Pretty nifty little shot, eh? I've heard instructors speak about it, however this is the first video I've seen that went into any detail approximately the way to hit it.
Okay, right here are a few belongings you must keep in thoughts:
- When you get the club up on its toe, the face may be a little open. Practice this shot a little on the range so you know how much; it'll make it easier to aim the shot.
- Lee says to keep your hands quiet but it looks like she's cocking her wrists, doesn't it? The face-on view at the end tells the tale. Your lead wrist stays flat -- that is, your lead forearm and the club shaft form a straight line throughout the shot -- but your trailing wrist cocks a little to create power. She says to put a bit more weight on your lead leg; this helps create the downward motion.
- NOT MENTIONED BUT IMPORTANT! This is primarily an arm swing. Your shoulders don't turn very much. Why is this important? The less your shoulders turn, the less you swing around your body. The less you swing around yourself, the easier it is to make solid and accurate contact. Shoulder turn is for creating power, and you don't need much power here at all; you need an accurate strike. All you want to do is dig the ball out of the hole, not pitch it 40 or 50 yards.
