don't you hate this in today's video I'm gonna show you how to hit cheap shots
from a horrible lie let's do it so if you're new to the channel I do a lot of
golf tip and drill videos so hit the subscribe button and the bettle
notification so you don't miss anything today we're talking about how to hit
chip shots off a horrible lie kind of like that nobody likes those so I'm
gonna show you a cool little way to pull that off
let me show you how to do that right now
so the first thing you want to do to be able to pull this shot off is grab your
wedge that has the least amount of bounce so this is my 60-degree wedge it
has 4 degrees of Bounce so typically I will use a 60-degree wedge with very
little bounce when I play courses that have conditions that are very hard
packed sand or the ground could be you're gonna get a lot of bear hard pack
lies so when it's soft and squishy I might go with the higher bounce when
it's hard packed I'll go with the very low bounce and my setup of wedges will
also have different bounces for each wedge so that even if I'm playing in a
soggy condition I get a hard pack lie I'll have a wedge with very little
bounce in my bag at all times and I'll have a wedge with high bounce in my bag
at all times as well is something I do something to think about for this shot I
want you to grab your wedge with the least amount of bounce because couple
reasons even if it's a 50 degree wedge if it has the lowest amount of bounce I
would use that the reason why is you don't want the bounce hitting the ground
in a hard packed junky like conditions and typically the least amount of bounce
will get the ball to highest that's step one okay here's step two very important
when you have a lie similar to this any type of the rough lie the tendency is
you want to you think you want to hit the ball high so you need to open the
clubface fatal mistake opening the face is adding bounce to the bottom of the
club we don't want to add bounce although I have four degrees of Bounce
on this club I don't want any more than that as a matter of fact I want less
than that so instead of opening the face I'm gonna shut it so if opening adds
bounce shutting it takes away bounce so I'm going from four degrees of Bounce to
maybe 2 or 0 I want no bounce now yeah the ball is gonna come out lower now but
I'd rather have a low shot on the green and a high shot two feet in front of me
so step two shut down the face the ball will go more
left so you're gonna have to adjust with your aim but that's fine
the goal is cut your next your next shot should be a putt that's your goal
so shucks that face okay very very important least amount of bouts shut the
face step 3 let's go
okay here is uh step three your shut in the face I want my feet
close together then you do want to back the ball up in your stance a little bit
in this particular instance okay here Center just a little bit maybe a
half a ball and I'm setting that face down right here I step three and now
you're good to go now all the other fundamentals are the
same back and through with rotation shut the face rotate we don't want to start
getting too complicated with a whole bunch of other swing thoughts it's
really all set up it's Club choice and set up that's all we have to do back
that ball up a touch and then you're good to go
what I like to do for practice is just get a bunch of balls throw them around
the junky parts of my yard which is easy to find here and then just start
chipping with that same technique practicing from Horrible eyes remember
low bouts shut the face back it up just a touch everything else remains the same
rotate through the shot like any other normal chip shot
if there's another piece of advice I would give you it would apply for every
shot you ever play golf is always accelerate through the ball a lot you
hear that all the time but in these situations it's more critical than any
other you have to accelerate through the ball
so there you go that's the shot we're shut in the face we're aiming laughs
we're taking very little bounce on the bottom of the club so that we can get
through that tough hard pack line let me know what you think
give it a shot hit that like button comment below let me know how it's
