00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.060
This drill is looking at variety of shots around the greens so I've got a basic
2
00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:11.800
little chip shot here that I can hit with a variety of different clubs. So you
3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:18.480
can see this is a very short shot so I could take my 58 degree wedge and do my
4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.590
standard little finesse swing right where the ball lands on just like so. Now
5
00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:25.920
if
6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.960
I'm not really comfortable with this especially if it was a tighter lie now
7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.800
I've got my seven iron and I could land this just short and and have the ball
8
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:40.120
roll a little bit more like a putt so I would play this more in my back set up
9
00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:45.080
but still have the same style finesse swing and this probably isn't the right
10
00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:49.410
club for this shot but hey it's something I can experiment with. The last one
11
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:49.560
that
12
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:55.660
most people are starting to use or have used for a little while is the hybrid
13
00:00:55.660 --> 00:00:55.720
or
14
00:00:55.720 --> 00:01:00.060
three wood. This tends to get the ball rolling very very quickly and you'll
15
00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:06.080
set up similar to how you're using well there's two different ways you can set
16
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:09.880
up either like you're using your finesse swing and have the have it go a
17
00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:16.240
little left during takeaway or you can set up like we worked on in the and use
18
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:20.680
your putting grip and just let the ball kind of roll across. Now this is a
19
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:20.960
little
20
00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:24.200
thicker grass so to carry this distance I probably actually wouldn't use the
21
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.000
hybrid but what I want you to start doing is experimenting with different clubs
22
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.520
and different shots around the green which will help you be a little bit more
23
00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:35.960
creative a little bit more versatile and it'll know your game. You'll know
24
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:36.200
which
25
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.920
is your stronger shot so when push comes the shove you'll go to your strong
26
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.080
shot. When you're playing just little practice rounds you can always work on
27
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:49.880
the shots that are a little tougher but when when you really need it go to
28
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:56.480
your go-to shot the one that you have the most success during practice with.
