Interesting shot I'm going to hit for you now I'm going to stand that sort of sixty seventy yards high wedge shot. I see that ball lands nice and high lands down next to the flag here about sixty five yards away and like I say that was a very high shot. you could sense how long it took before I actually landed even if you didn't see it land it was a long way in the air. So it was interesting because every part of my body was trying to hit that ball while none of what I was doing was about hitting the ball high yet you saw the ball go really high in the air and actually if I ask a lot of club golfers and golfers that struggle to hit this sort of chip and pitch up there goes high in the air what they're trying to do they will very rarely say to me they were trying to hit it like most people would say they were trying to help it in the air they were trying to get under the ball they were trying to scoop the ball and all those sorts of words that for me have negative connotations in regards to your chipping and your pitching. So if you are trying to hit a lost it's shot that's work on the principle that the club does the lofted bit you do the delivery. So your job is to deliver the club downwards at the back of the ball and hit the ball at the right power and the club will hit the ball high to everything you do in your setup in your stance with your grip is designed to to deliver the club at the right position on a downwards angle.
So when I set up to the golf ball I play the ball around about the center of my feet I play the ball with my hands slightly in front of it. So my hands were here they're now here with the handles of the shaft has some shuffling I can then grip down slightly my feet to roughly twelve inches apart just to give me a nice bit of balance in my set up in my stance I don't back and I lean left as I hit and I lean left my body weight comes on to my front like my real leg comes up and again I'm very much hitting down I'm in front of the ball and it's very much downwards and actually saw the shutter here took a nice big divot that show you have a club which struck delivered and transferred downwards into the back of the ball to get under the ball to make the ball go up. None of my set up was forwards leaned back trying to scoop the ball up into the air which is the classics that are bad golfers top shots and then shots. So we hit wedge shots high conversely by actually trying to hit them low by having the ball middle body weight has a head deliver the club downwards into the floor utilizing the loft on your clubs be that a pitching wedge a sand wedge or even a sixty degree wage to get that ball to go really high high weight shots are delivered by a club coming downwards.
