Sting in the tail

This month we had the return of Tiger Woods and one of the standout shots from the past he used to play was the “Stinger”- this low bullet shot that he would hit off the tee is perfect for windy conditions. To play the shot successfully follow the below tips:

At address, play the ball an inch or two farther back in your stance than normal, which will set your hands slightly forward of the ball. You should grip the club down about an inch on the grip for added control. These adjustments should cause your arms and the shaft to form a “y”. Taking a smooth, full backswing, try to retain this “y” as much as possible throughout the swing. The stinger’s low trajectory and extra roll result from the bowed wrist position at impact. This means the left wrist is firm and curved toward the target.
