  • Using a 62 degree wedge you can hit the low spinning check shot. Simple to do if you know how. Plus it's a really cool shot to play on the course.

    A few short years ago I had finally gotten down to scratch. Since then I've played maybe 4or 5 times a year the past 6 years. It sucks to know i once was able to pull off all the shots inside 90 yds and not be able to now. Losing the knowledge and feel for these shots happens way faster than i ever imagined. These videos have been a blessing for me. I don't really care if I'm ever a scratch golfer again but I do want to play well enough that my 6 yr old will listen to me while I'm teaching him to play. He has recently been bitten by the golf bug and the most fun I've ever had playing golf is with that little guy. The best feeling I've ever had playing golf is last week we played 9 holes and somewhere in there he looked at me and said "you're pretty good at this game dad". Anyway, i enjoy your videos because they've helped me to be able to enjoy golf again. 👍

  • @1DCCX
    @1DCCX Před 3 lety

    Keeping hands low flattens the lie angle and squares the face whilst having an open leading edge, bounce exposed.
    You say steep but it looks on plane. And allows downcock to rip those grooves. Not rotating it over is important.
    I hit out to 100 yards like this, just widen stance, match the backswing and follow through lengths, less open but still open.
    Love your strike, really clean.

    This is a pretty advanced technique for us amateurs. I'm going to try to incorporate it into my own game. I can think of more than a few times I could have used a shot like this, a low running shot that checks and cozies up to the hole.

  • @MM-zb9kc
    @MM-zb9kc Před 4 lety

    Great description and step by step way to show how to hit that shot. Most people get scared to open that face, also to pull left like a straight pull. Keep up the videos as this was one of the best videos to show how to hit that shot. They don’t realize the open club face, keeping it low and pulling left counteract that open face that usually goes right. 👍👍👍👍

    • @MrMark945
      @MrMark945 Před 4 lety +1

      Its rhe best shot man, its super accurate imagine throwing a dart at a dart board...theres a reason pro dart players don't lob their darts at the bullseye...for hugh you have to take in trajectory as well as direction and landing spot, and the roll is inconsistent sometimes it rolls out others it just dies, if you slide underneath the ball goes nowhere if the club face is too close you hit it too far from trying to swing harder (because ur assuming the clubface is open)...only go high if you have to

    Hey man thanks . I’m not new but been away from golf 6 years and I’m looking for a ball to spin around the greens but also a ball to hit long off the T. I shoot around 95 a round. Also my home course is country club type course tight lies beautiful fairways cut daily greens are fast and soft . I can’t get off the tee so my scores sucks but I’m great around the greens is the Pro V1 still king of spin on the greens be honest sincerely your new fan

  • @user-rg1co8vx2u
    @user-rg1co8vx2u Před rokem

    So I kind of figured this out on my own as a way to control shots that need to stop quick without hitting a high risk flop shot. I heard people talking about hitting spinners so i looked it up and have been doing this on my own for a year. Goes to show you that you need to spend way more time practicing shots inside 100 yards than you do hitting driver and long irons. You learn stuff just from tinkering based on the needs of your game.

    The most important element you forgot to mention is a soft covered ball. Hard covered golf balls just bounce off the face, rather than climb up it getting all the spin and coming off low. It's a great shot. A lot easier to get the ball from point A to point B on a straight line too. Great tip and great technique.

      @@kennethramsey5957 Its not so much a question of skill but of practice and risk appetite. If I have a 30-35 yard pitch with limited space to land and stop it, I can either hit that shot or try to hit a 40 yard flop which in my experience is WAY harder to pull off than this shot. Just got to keep your hands low and moving left a bit back in your stance with an open club face. Its really not as hard as it seems.

    You said you were going to explain why there are times to choose the low spinner over a standard high pitch but then only said it was to avoid the big mistakes. So are you saying it’s specifically used for tight lies so you don’t chunk it?

    I have to be honest not hating but it seems like his ball isn’t checking up that much maybe it’s just the camera angle but I’m seeing it release
