what is up y'all hope y'all are having a great day out here at Nashville Golf and
Athletic Club and today I am gonna teach you how to hit that saucy little stinger
that you've seen on the gram here on YouTube videos hope these tips can help
you get out there and sting it with the best of them I'm also going to teach you
how to hit that banana cut and that big bending draw that I hit as well and at
the end of the video I've got a little secret to tell be at that low riser
starts off low a lot of spin rises up kind of looks cool so I've got a tip for
that at the end of this video we're just gonna jump right into it first and
foremost you've got to select a club I've got my Titleist 712 u 4 iron right
there this is the club that I have pretty much all the Stingers with have
this Club for maybe 7 years so definitely a lot of wear and tear on it
but I like the versatility that the 4 iron gives you you can also use a 5 iron
3 iron to iron but the 4 iron for me I'm able to work the ball a lot curve it a
lot and control the trajectory so that's why I choose the 4 iron I also have some
friends that will use their driver fairway wood or hybrid you can do that
as well just gonna hit it a little different but for this tutorial gonna be
showing you how to sting it with the irons I've got 5 keys on how I hit a
stinger the first key place the ball roughly in the middle of your stance
this is gonna help promote that flat ball flight that's not spinning too high
it's gonna trundle right on down the fairway
second key place 60% of your weight on the front foot this is gonna help have a
descending blow on the golf ball the third key is to lead hard with the hands
leading hard with the hands is also going to help promote that low ball
flight the fourth key is to make sure you're rotating your upper body while
leading with your hands if you don't rotate with your upper body and are
leading hard with the hands clubface is going to be open causing it to squirt
out to the right oh that is so good the fifth and final key on how I hit a
stinger is to think noodle arms loosen up those forearms you don't want any
tension through impact because you want to create a lot of speed speed is going
to help create that low piercing ball flight that is going to roll for days
down the fairway and then all that's left is to sting it
well that was fun but I think I can hit it even lower see if we can't get this
one real low oh it's pretty low right there that was fun one to show you what
it looked like from a side view
now for the banana cut in the big sweeping draw still want to use on both
all five techniques for how to hit a stinger so for the banana cut I'm
actually gonna open my stance a little bit aim left of where I want the ball to
end up but I'm actually gonna pull it a little bit so I want to swing hard down
into the left even harder down into the left than on a normal stinger because I
want to cover the ball making sure I'm rotating with my shoulders will allow me
to cover the ball not having a wide open clubface at impact
if I cover the ball and can get that ball starting left swinging hard left
it's going to create the spin to give it that big banana cut
you just saw a few banana cuts those are fun love to hit them when you're in a
little trouble now for the big sweeping drill I'm gonna aim a little right of
where I want the ball to end up and then I'm also gonna drop back my right foot
causing me to swing from the inside to out more that's gonna cause that big
right-to-left curve for your right-handers opposite for left-handers
now you just saw a handful of those big sweeping drawers those are fun have one
final tip the one you might have been waiting for how to hit that riser such a
fun shot I'm not sure it's all that practical most of the time but it looks
good on camera and they are fun to hit so for the riser you still incorporate
all five fundamentals for how to hit a stinger except for all you do is move
the ball far back in the stance I will typically play it pretty much off my
back foot maybe a little forward of my back foot what that does is it causes
you to hit board down on the ball causing a lot more spin and you're
actually going to be launching it at a lower launch angle causing it to start
off lower and then once that spin catches rise on up to the moon
well those risers are fun yes they are however more visually pleasing than they
are actually effective on the golf course but nonetheless fun to hit if
