Gary Player and Corey Pavin, although they're not necessarily the same type of players. They did have a very similar type of shot. When you consider the build of the guys, they weren’t particularly big but it was certainly not known for hitting the ball a long way. Now, Pavin was not the longest hitter and he's certainly wasn’t stacked. Gary Player is slightly different. He was one of the fittest guys out there on tour and that gave him a little bit longer hitter. But they utilize their strengths or their relative deficiencies and the fact that they weren’t massively tall. They utilizes strength of hitting a very low, right to left golf shot to maximize their distances particularly if they had a dry running fairway or a little bit of a head wind. That the ability to keep the ball down and turn the ball from right to left in what I would call quite a hot, low, hooking shots or low, drawing shots.

Now if you play a windy day and you want to maximize the distance, you can hit the ball into the wind and get it running down the fairway. Here's a couple of little tips that will help you that sort of Player and Pavin shot that work so well for them during their careers. We want to hit the golf ball from right to left and we also want to hit down on the golf ball a little bit. So we can play the ball back a little bit more than you would normally play it.

I've got my three hybrid here and rather than playing, it look towards my front foot in hitting it high. I'm just going to play it back and towards the middle of my stance a little bit that will help me deloft the golf club and take the high tilt of it. I'm then going to point my body a little bit down the right-hand side of the fairway. And as long as I follow my feet and my shoulder with my swing path, so my feet and shoulders are driving right swing out in that direction. That should get the golf ball a little bit down the right-hand side of the fairway.

If I can slightly close the club face and the club face is pointing more left than my swing path line, I'm going to be able to shake the ball from right to left putting a little bit of tilted backspin on the ball and maybe even a little bit of sidespin to move the ball from right to left. So I point my body down the right side. I point my club face a little bit more towards the center of the fairway. I then make a really good rolling action of my hands hitting down and rolling my hands quite strongly. I'm going to see the ball coming out quietly low and moving from right to left. When this thing lands it's really going to take off. It might not be the longest shot through the air but on a windy day you don’t want that. You want the ball to come out a bit lower or under bit sooner but then have a little bit of momentum left when it lands.

So my body's pointing a little bit on the right side. My club head's pointing a little bit more back towards the center of the fairway. I have a good hit down and good strong rotation through the shot and this will come out hot and low and turning over as it comes down. Now, you notice my finish position here quite flat, quite around my body which is much more of the Corey Pavin finish. Gary Player, he played the shot a little bit more renounced as if he's walking through getting foot. He just walk off down the fairway, leave the club for the caddie, leave the divot for the caddie as he walk down the fairways part of his finish routing.

Pavin similar to my finish a little bit lower, a little bit more around the body as the hands work around and shut the club face down. But if you want to hit low, running draw shots, that's how we play them. A little bit short with the stance, a little back with the ball position. Roll the hands over and stay down through impact and watch that ball come out hot and low and rise up the fairway.
