In this week's tip I want to talk to you about how you're a lie determines your of attack. As I look at my lie if my ball is sitting down in a hole then I'm going to have to have a little bit more wrist hinge to get the leading edge of the club into the ground to get the ball up in the air. If the golf ball is perched up like so then I can use my Steve Stricker type of motion kind of a dead headed type of pitch shot, and I don't have to worry so much about my angle of attack. So let's take a look at this lie, this lie is kind of sitting down just a little bit.

So what I want to do is set my wrist just a little bit quicker. Make the ILS in so that way I can get down into a golf ball so here we go we're going to set up just like we did our normal shot we're going to set our hands just a little bit quicker to make the L.'s so we get under that golf ball, and when we do that the ball going to jump up in the air nicely it's going to land very soft and obviously we've got I so easy tap in pop for par.
