Seve’s secrets for making shot

Making shot is an art that every player can learn. The simplest way to teach yourself the different shakes needed to hit the different shots is working with the most versatile club in the bag-5-hook.

In my case, my first club was a 3-Hakuri, but if I had to do it, I would choose a 5-Herkuri. 5-Hekuri is a little shorter, making control easier. At 37 1/2 inches, it is the perfect length to learn as longer and shorter shakes. Both techniques are needed to become a shot maker. Its considerable attic also removes the fear of mistakes. This allows you to swing with confidence as you work with different shots.

Below is a sixth description of the shooting you can hit with 5-and-end, and the keys to play each.

attic

Address: Play the ball just to the right of the center and line up the legs, spots and square shoulders on the target line. Balance your weight evenly on both feet. Stand up normally and set the open “a hair” blade.

Backswing: Draw the club along the target line with the strong joints and allow your weight to move on the right to the right. When you feel the shift of weight to the inside of your right foot, allow your wrists to break down. Turn completely, transferring your weight to the right heel.

Landing Run your knees toward the target and swing the club down with your hands and arms. Keep more weight on your right foot and head behind the ball in order to contact the ball on the rise.

Fade softly

Address: With the ball forward, stay open and place the buttocks, shoulders and club to the left of the target. Keep the “stronger” handle with a “poorer” check. Put most of the weight on your left foot.

Backswing: Keep your head “smooth”, eyes centered on the back of the ball and the lower body relatively calm as you swing the club again slower than normal, outside the target line. Once the weight is moved to your right foot, allow your wrists to break down so that you can pull the club up to three-card position.

Landing To achieve a “floating” left flight to the right, hold most of your weight on your right foot and pull the club to the back of the ball outward inside the target line.

Draw

Address: Clubface close slightly or drastically, depending on the degree of attraction you intend to achieve. Keep the club lightly, with a “stronger” check. Play the ball back to the stand and line the legs, thighs and shoulders to the right of your target target. Balance your weight.

Backswing: Keep your head stable and swing the club back to the normal “inside” road. Pull your left shoulder under your chin and move the weight to the right heel to enable you to reach a full spine.

Landing Move the weight to the ball of your left foot. While pulling the club in the stroke area, allow your right hand to cross over the left and your left foot roll towards the target. Continue to flip your hands through influence.

Low

Address: Stay squarely, placing most of your weight on your left foot. Play the ball back to stand, closer to your right foot, so your hands are in front of the club. Chew for control, grab normally and run the club on your target.

Backswing: Keep your head steady and weight remaining as you swing the club back to the point of half with your hands and arms.

Landing Think of the short conclusion. Now drive both knees toward the target weight and flip on the outside of the left foot to increase the speed of your arm and rush the club. Turn more tightly and pull the club in the back of the ball so that the back of your left hand faces the target in the impact.

Trap

Address: Play the ball back significantly, stay open “a hair” and put most of your weight on your right foot. Keep your head stable and glue your chin to the right so you can look down directly on the ball with your left eye. Pretend that the stroke is longer than it really is to allow the ball to lose speed when it passes through the trap; The more sand, the harder it is.

Backswing: Keep your head still, your knees closed and the right weight. Select the club upwards with hands and arms and let the joints break down. Shake the club’s head again to the waist height.

Landing Keep your head stable, run the right knee inside and pull the club in the back of the ball.

Mini-woman

Address: Play the ball forward, ready away from the left finger left. Put the feet, hip and shoulders left over from the target line, place most of your weight on your left foot and hold your head behind the ball.

Backswing: Keep your head still, your eyes focused closely on the ball and the weights are left. Select the club upwards steep, breaking the wrists immediately in the intake. Rotate the club again in the half -shaky position with your hands and arms.

drop: Remain flat feet and keep your head steady while running your knees towards the target. By maintaining the knee actions, you will “time” shot better. Release your control significantly so that the “Snaps” club back and blade “fall” on the back of the ball.
