Can I follow this drill in a trap where the sand is very thin?(Very little sand)
I like to use my 60 degree out of the sand and find that if I open it up too much (like in the drill carrying the sand back as on a tray) I sometimes go right thru the sand under the ball. Generally speaking, do I need to open up a 60 degree very much or is its own loft and bounce sufficient in most types of sand?
Hi, I've been told to have slightly more weight on your front foot (maybe 60%) during setup for a fairway wood. Would you agree with that?
Where do you play the ball in your stance? It looks in the middle.
Matt,
Why do I hook the ball so bad when hitting the ball off the fairway with my 3 wood? I hit it straight off the tee but have a horrible hook when hitting it off the deck?
This worked very well with a wiiffle ball. Will try it asap with real ball. My prob was always not finishing the swing. This may solve it.
