Where on the ball are you trying to strike
Great drill. Can you now show that shot with the ball in a little deeper rough close to the green and the pin in the middle. Ball should be sitting low in the rough.
A front camera shot would have been helpful. The way you were describing it (to me) it looked like you'd scoop the ball.
I hit my flop shot differently. Wide stance. Weight forward, hands low, hinged, let club head pass under the ball stop hands at the ball position. Also you need a good lie some room under the ball otherwise you will skull it
Ty for this. What if it’s thick grass and into the grain, same setup and shot?
Thanks, Devan! That swing of up quick in the. back, and up quick in the follow-thru is great! It helps a lot.
I also love the way that you talk really fast, because it imparts a lot more information in a short amount of time. Keep it up!
Thanks for all that you do - I watch you all the time.
Very good, thanks!
This close to the green intorduces a lot more risk than a simple little chip? Maybe this woudl be more appropriate if you had to clear an obstacle like a buunker?
