If you watch the best golfers play this shot,
you’ll notice they seem to nip the turf
(rather than carving out a divot),
and they then seem to have a
shorter follow-through.
When we see golfers trying to play this shot on the range, many move the ball back in their stance and
play with a steeper angle of attack, under the impression that will create more spin.
Actually a shallow angle of attack with clean contact creates more spin.
Being able to shoot the ball in with a slightly lower trajectory and
the spin to check the ball quickly, makes distance control so much easier.
Come and learn how to play this shot.
