This shot has a very similar V-shaped action, although there is little spin on landing. You need to play this shot sometimes when you're in the deep greenside bunker and there is little or no green between you and the flag.To successfully hit this shot, you set up with the ball even more forward toward the left foot. maintain a wide stance, but this time you should set much of your weight on your right foot. This shot you will place your hands slightly behind the ball, having your right hand turned well to the right, as you are aiming for an even earlier flip action through impact.
You will strike the sand farther behind the ball than for a standard shot, about two and a half inches behind the ball. The extra sand will help provide no backspin, just a high flying ball that drops gently and stays put. Once you have set up correctly, just swing back with a smooth tempo and strike the match.
Next I will write about low spinning shot.
Until next time, enjoy the sand and bring your shovel.....
