Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about hitting the stinger hitting that low bullet. That they can be used off the tee it can be used on the fairway and it can be used in the greens. Now as we well know put the ball back in our stance a leaning our hands and weight forward will encourage the club shaft to lean more forward. However if you get way out in front of the golf ball you're going to create a trajectory that is so low and so on usable that it wont go very far. We still have to get even a stinger up in the air just a little bit so we can have a low flat bullet or not something that skimps along the ground.
So what I want to do is put the ball in the center hands and weight more forward all I want to focus on doing is leaning shaft forward put this is a picture in your mind right here that's what I want to shaft to look like. I don't want to see the body and the shaft leaning out in front of it because that's how we get the unusable low shot. So here we go all the center hands weight a bit forward and then all the sudden we were dragging that handle forward so we could hit it low. Now when you do the other balls will come off low and flat while it's probably going to go 20 or 30 maybe even 40 feet in the air higher than that is too much. If it goes much below 20 feet you know which is basically like seen right here then you're going to hasn't been issues and you're not going to be able to carry the ball as far as you want. So remember hit the stinger it was all about leaning the shaft forward not dragging the whole body out in front of it. If you do that you will be Tiger Woods best buddy.
