Stinger Tutorial

Lets walk through the song:

“Step 1 ball back in the stance” - if you want to hit it REALLY low you can move the ball way further back than you think almost in line with your back foot.

“Now bump a little bit that way like that” - can start with your hips or belt buckle more over your lead foot to help get that pressure to your lead foot in the downswing.

“Pressure on the lead foot” - you can start with pressure on the front foot or move pressure to the front foot. Either way we want it maxing out on this foot by left arm parallel in the downswing so however you do it make sure you get to that lead side.

“Trail hip back” - in the backswing feel like your trail hip moves towards the target when you’re turning

“Now from the top we gotta drop the hands” - I’m trying to get you to hit draws for this shot and part of a draw is getting your path moving in to out which is what this feel promotes.

“Pull the grip forward” - through impact will feel like you’re pulling the grip towards the target forever.

“Add a little drag” - drag is just another word for pulling grip towards target. Might feel like you’re dragging the club through impact without letting the clubhead pass the hands. This will help deloft the club at impact for a lower flight. The more exaggerated this feel the lower the shot

“Turn the loft down” - impact will likely feel like the face is pointing straight down into the ground (super overly shut) due to amount of drag and forward lean I’m trying to get you to have here. The more you pull / drag the handle the more that opens the face so the more you need to exaggerate closing the face.

“Cut the ball in half” - To me it feels like I’m tyring to cut the ball in half in the direction of the line in the video - almost like I’m hitting the top of the ball and trying to smash the ball into the ground, almost under ground. Will feel like the ball shouldn’t even get in the air.
