what i have to say is to long to write here.i probably practice short game 75% of the time.first let me say this,use your imagination.go out and experiment hitting different shots,with different hinge actions.try getting a 3 iron distance away from the ball.short the radius of the club by choking up on the club to the steel.make a total motion using vertical hinging.this shot can be used out of bunkers to a pin cut close to the edge.use it out of high rough,or maybe you are off the green in a swale and it is closely mowedand you have no green to work with.this is just one example of what anyone is capable of doing with a little imagination and creativity.
when i was a kid i use to read the tips from golf magazines and go out and try to learn how to hit different shots around the green.plus it is fun even now trying to hit alot of different shots using different hinge actions.
i know for me it has paid off practicing different shots.i remember at the british open being in one of those riduculios deep bunkers a foot from the face.i got in there and couldn't see the flag,was trying to figure out what i was going to do,then i remembered the shot i explained earlier to you.so i tried it and guess what ?i holed that bunker shot and to this day it is the best shot i have ever hit in my life and it was only 5 yards.but i hit it 10 yards straight up.wow,still gives me chills thinking about that one.goodluck and see the shot and execute it
