Hit-Swing-use your hinges, experiment with different power accumulators, one barrell-two barrell-three barrell.....................Utilize ball position as it relates to low point to control trajectory........

VJ....we have discussed the shots a lot, but I have not seen any methods to practise them.

What are the best drills and games to hone a good short game?

THE HITTING CHIP

At address pre-select the amount of shaft lean for the given shot. For instance the higher the trajectory the less the lean, the lower the trajectory the more the lean.

So balance and ball position are set.

The right wrist should be bent and the left wrist flat at adjusted address. So you will begin from impact fix to minimize moving parts and to prevent you from needing or just using a float load.

From here the right elbow simply bends moving the lever assemblies away (back up and in) and then utilizing an arm throw (10-20-0) the right elbow pushes the lever assemblies down into impact. A true hitter's chip.

The right arm pitch is created again by controlling the lean of the shaft at address and opening the face. A pitch goes higher than a chip so less lean should be utilized at address. From here, for higher pitches around the green the face and the shaft must be manipulated to higher trajectory.

THE LOB SHOT

To get the most of this we must look at 2-C-2. A "Cut shot" is any stroke using vertical hinging through impact regardless of of plane line or the preceeding wrist action. H. Kelley

10-5-D is the one I utilize more often than not. In this way I can trace a plane line which is outside in to the target line and employ a little reverse roll.

So stand open-open with the clubface at the target and swing out to in (Left) utilizing a little reverse roll and you have the cut shot.

The lob comes from ball position. For the lob use the above cut shot procedure but have the ball positioned at low point (opposite your left shoulder.) With the ball positioned here the clubhead will be moving level or parallel to the ground which will in turn take the compression off the ball.

Therefore, the cut shot and the lob shot are the same with exception of ball positioning.

vj: In putting you suggested practicing the short ones and long lag putts. I have changed my putting practice to this and the results have been very good. In the short game do you have any set distances that you feel you should practice ?

Hue,

2 to 4 feet, a length they will all go in and 50 or 60 feet, a length you don't expect them to go in.

That is putts. What about chips and short game shots?
