Welcome to ImproveMYGOLF and welcome down to the glorious Dolce camp a real golfers are here in
Portugal video we're gonna be talking about the dreaded bear lies we actually
teach a lot of this on the golf club because guys that contours really do
struggle when they don't have something underneath the ball and I think it's
because of the perception that they have to get the table under the ball in the
first place so this is hopefully gonna clear off not only bear lies but just
chipping in general regardless of whether this poor start over here on the
nice look grass or whether it's on a bear lie we want to be committing down
into the back of the golf ball we don't want to be trying to flick it off into
the air so sometimes I sleep rats in from bear I can really really help your
technique there's two ways to practice I think we've got an advanced level and
intermediate / beginner level where we've got an 18 and a lob wedge the lob
wedge you can have I think a lot of the advanced plays elite golfers even small
players will get really excited about this shot they'll look at this lob wedge
with a tight line just think about all like max Ben they're gonna get how
awesome it's gonna look when that ball reacts on the green just slips in and
then just release his down to the flag that's what I'm hoping to be able to do
anyway also with the a tine shot you can just start to see you golfer other needs
to maybe land it around about halfway and just let it release the rest of the
distance and they don't need to worry too much about strike catch it a tiny
bit thin with the a time because the backswing was so short you've not
created so much power so it's not going to go so far either so you can actually
get away with a good bad shot as well I'm gonna start with the lob wedge this
is this shot I personally would use because I like to try and courage a
little bit of spin on the ball and we're I'm not going to try and hit down on the
ball see what's gonna come into the ball from the shallow angle of attack so I
kind of hit rush the top of the surface what again to an extent I'm obviously
still hitting down but I'm not trying to jab at the ball I'm trying to kind of
come through the ball rotate and just kind
the clubface let the ball just kind of stick to that club face as it comes
through impact ball position I'm going to keep it in
the center of my stance like so do one a net I do want an element of kind of a
little tactically slip down into the back of the ball I'm gonna see if we can
land this just onto the green and then just let it release out strike was
really good and that first bounce was so so so soft and actually played it better
than I even I expected myself the strike was really nice it was very clean loads
and loads of backspin give that one more girl so can actually be a lot more
aggressive again loads of backspin and just a trickle past the hole not a bad
attempt at all right so we're gonna go to the a tine shot which I'd expect most
offers to kind of favor at the moment but again I could use a bare life of
practicing your chipping because it's a really good way of practicing the strike
even when you take it on to normal grass so Nolan this around about half way for
the moment obviously depends on the shot leaves base with if it's all downhill
landed short so if it's uphill landed further well for this particular shot we
were slightly up the hill and I'm gonna get on to the green it's slightly
downhill left to right to the target so I'm gonna be aiming slightly left I want
to try and London this just on the fringe so it hits into the upslope and
then releases over the bank in terms of setup again I'm going to keep the ball
position centrally my stance more weight it's gonna be forward I'm not really
going to use too much wrist hinge but I'm going to allow the body and the hips
it's kind of rotate together the hands don't really need to move too much we
want we are going to be hitting down on the ball because the ball position and
the weight distribution we don't need the hands to work during this shot so
it's just a very much like a chip and run
there we have it just hit into the slope probably came out a little bit fiery but
I think most importantly you golfers out there you hit the ball relatively close
to the green off of a lie as well hi guys I hope you've enjoyed that video
