But, when I do play it, I set up for it much like a bunker shot. This is what I do, maybe we'll find out if I'm right or not!

1. Open clubface and point it towards my target.

2. Open my stance quite a bit - if I have a very high short shot to hit, I open my stance a lot, less so for longer flops.

3. Play the ball in middle/front of stance.

4. Apply varying amounts of lag pressure on the downswing, depending on how far/high the shot needs to be.

5. Use vertical hinging.
