Skill Development: Ability to hit extra high
Part 1 | Long Game Training
Time: 2o Minutes
Part 2 | Short Game: Bunker
Time: 2o Minutes
For a Short & High or a Downhill Bunker Shot you need the same factors. Your ball needs to fly higher.
For Short & High you need the ball to stop quickly and for a downhill bunker shot you need to accommodate for the lower ball flight due to the downhill lie.
Let’s create extra height!
Setup parallel to the ground. Always parallel to the sand. Uphill or Downhill.
The Ball needs to fly extra high to stop on the green. Extra Loft is key to control height.
This hand motion creates extra height! Keep this throughout the motion.
From this position it is hard to create extra height at impact.
Keep the clubface open through impact.
This is how you hit a shot with extra height. You can use this for downhill lies or short pins.
