One of the main features that the tournament shares the tournament from the medium players’ players is their ability to fit. Whether it is adapting to changing weather conditions or shaking your setup configuration to navigate challenging lies, there is rarely a situation that can remove them from their game.
It is a skill that many of us do not really appreciate until we find ourselves in a harsh place. However, it is not an instinctive skill with which you were born, it is something these players have honored over thousands of hours in the range – and you can develop it as well.
You just need the right bases and a little practical.
Take pieces on heavy slopes uphill, for example. While these lies often present a challenge for amateurs, Golf teacher to seeJames Hong, says that possessing some basics and making two configuration adjustments will help you treat these shots with confidence.
When you find yourself in a heavy uphill lie with the ball over your feet, you may worry about rubbing it, pulling it in trouble or even going immediately under the ball if the rough is thick enough. And with a good reason – these are some of the most common mistakes players make from this position.
Then what should you do? Hong says to take it step by step. This will help you make the appropriate shooting adjustments without overloading yourself with many rocking thoughts.
Step 1: The right goal of your target
Hong explains that heavy, steep lies can affect the club corner. When a ball is on your feet, he says, it will make your club show left of the target line (for right hand players). To account for this change in the club corner, Hong says you aim for the right to your target.
Step 2: Anchoring your base
Heavy slopes can make us feel unstable in our oscillations, which usually leads to improper shape and poor contact. What is why you need to create a strong base for your swinging. To do it, Hong says to take a wider attitude.
If this wider base makes you feel limited to your rotation, try to light the front leg, as Hong does in the clip above. This will allow you to make a larger turn without narrowing your feet and falling out of balance.
Expanding your attitude also brings you closer to the ball. To compensate for this adjustment, catch a little at the club, as Hong demonstrates in the video above. This will help you maintain control and achieve clean contact.
Step 3: Play the ball back
To prevent yourself from hitting the soil in front of the ball – leading to those scary shots shredded or embedded – you will need to adjust your ball position.
“I’m putting the ball in the middle to get a little back to my attitude,” says Hong, “and if you are someone who is very useful, you will probably want to put the ball further to the right (again in your stay).”
Playing the ball further in your attitude promotes a faster angle of attack, helping you make clean, first ball contact.
Step 4: Practice
The only way to really execute this stroke confidence during your round is to practice it when the pressure is off. Next time you are in the range, throw some balls from a similar place and play with your ball position and swing.
As shown in the video above, Lie Hong is hitting by his forces to stop almost in the influence – a reflection on how dramatically certain can affect your movement. Eachdo slope presents its challenges, and the more time you spend by practicing these unequal lies, the better you will feel when you face them on the course.
