LEARNING CENTER
Here is the situation: You are faced with a short shot over a bunker to a pin cut just over the bunker. The lie is good. So how are you going to execute the shot?
Lob Shot Technique
Here you need an even longer swing and an open clubface to hit the ball higher. Using your most-lofted wedge, widen your stance, open it more, and play the ball farther forward to increase the loft on the face. As you go back, let your wrists fully hinge, and turn your back to the target. The common fault here is, golfers do not make a big enough motion, so they have to overaccelerate on the downswing, leading to inconsistent contact. From a good backswing, the key is to let your hands and arms drop. To do this, you must keep your grip pressure light, so you can feel the weight of the clubhead catch up with your left arm. The follow-through is a continuation of that move: The momentum of the swing rehinges your wrists, with the shaft getting to a vertical position, and your body rotates through to face the target. Another up and down!
