okay enough goofing around I'm gonna show you this shot today that's gonna
help you when you have these kind of clumpy chunky or Kikuyu style grass lies
from like 20 30 40 50 yards or right next to the grain this technique could
save your life or maybe a couple shots watch this
not too bad I'm gonna show you how I pull that off right now okay so you got
one of these lies and this stuff it's like a mixture of like 40 different
types of grass I don't know what it COO yeah could be
which is like a weed and other junk it's a common Municipal Golf lie 30 40 50
yards even right next to the green what do we do we grab our 60-degree wedge
okay no way wrong don't do that okay take your next wedge down mine's at 54
okay 54 that's what I'm gonna use on this I need to because of how I set up
me totally weird but you need a little extra a little less loft because our set
a position and I like a nice sole here this type of sole a lot of Bounce on
this 14 degrees that's gonna help so high balance but the key factor is don't
use your 60 use the next one down 56 54 the two that's gonna help you a little
bit farther you go use more Club less loft
now I'll show you how to set up to get out of this mess
okay setup position is vital if you want to get through this wicked grass watch
this most of the time you're here okay most the time we're setting up way hands
forward no bueno here don't do that we're gonna set up like this
I want my hands near my back thigh check it out right here
my weight is gonna be more on my front foot but my hands are back so I'm
shifting my center of gravity my center line my bottom of my arc I'm leaning it
forward but I'm moving my hands back because I want I definitely need this
bounce to really prominently go through the earth more than ever
okay that's key so set up weight forward hands back check it out
weight forward
that's we thank a traditional setup does that happen you do you just chunk the
chunk out of it that's what we got to avoid and this grass it it equals let me
chunk it this grass is just saying hey I bet you'll chuck it and you will so
let's trick it and do the correct setup for this messed up shot same s apply now
hands back way forward
rapport and back
and I'm not I'm not purposely trying to scoop my hands I'm just trying to hold
them with that face wide open as I go through keeping that face wide open
that's why I need less loft more Club because on my hands are back so I'm
adding that loft right back in in my setup and I needed to go 30 yards or so
right now get it deep in there and back wait bulwark
you're using the technology of the club to get through this gnarly wiry grass
nobody likes this kind of grass because there's so much air in the grass that
any miss hit the grass just gives and you hit all kinds of crazy shots that
you would never normally hit in your lifetime but you do it all the time
because of the grass it's a mess so we can get around that with just a little
little tips
and if you notice my backswing here I'm not bringing it inside at all I'm really
trying to keep it outside the line is what we call it I'm I'm taking it back
out here right here and then I could just really drop that bounce into the
earth into that grass and it'll get that ball nice and high and I do open the
face of a bit as well that's why again we're taking a 54 and not a 60 on the
shot almost made that one I've got a tiny little target I'm working with here
so it makes it even harder so it's good you might not get this perfect every
time but you're not gonna chunk it that's for sure you're gonna get it
close and then you can also use this same exact technique right next to the
green when you have those really clumpy lies that everybody hates - same Club
maybe you don't have to change gloves all the time just stick with what you've
been practicing let's go close
look don't get caught up in just one way to play every shot there's multiple ways
in multiple hand positions to pull up shots especially when you have a crazy
wiry little lie that nobody likes so give it a try let me know how it works
everything's pretty neutrals center ball position I like slightly open the
clubface hands way back weight way forward then swing outside do your thing
get the balance to the ground you got to practice it get the feel of it things
will start working really good hope you like this video if you want more tips
