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.
