00:00 Alright guys, you've probably seen on social media that really cool shot that people refer to as a stinger that launched really low and runs forever
00:07 Tiger Woods has hit a couple of those in his career
00:10 I'm gonna tell you exactly how to do it
00:12 The secret is to try to get to the ball with as little loft as possible on the clubface
00:18 To do that we have to de-loft it and we do that by first of all trying to get the hands more in
00:25 front of the golf ball at
00:27 Impact. Alright, so how do you do that?
00:30 We have to try to feel like the body moves left towards the target and that the hands really
00:37 Push forward. Okay, the secret is to to not leave the clubface too much open
00:44 And if you want a shot that really runs out
00:46 we also need to make sure that we don't hit too much down on the golf ball because
00:51 The people that try this in the beginning that you swing straight down into the ground and you're gonna create too much
00:57 Backspin if you do that
00:58 so a little tip is to tee up the ball a little bit almost like the same height as a
01:03 3-wood if you hit too much down on the golf ball
01:07 You're literally gonna hit it underneath the golf ball and you're not gonna hit them at all
01:11 So this force you to be a little bit more shallow and if you can be shallow
01:16 With hands in front of the golf ball, you're gonna deal off the clubface and you're gonna lower that spin rate
01:22 So I'm gonna see if I can do it here. So move the ball actually kind of in the center of your stance
01:28 Push the hands forward already in the setup and with the teed up ball feel like you're swinging more around the body
01:34 With the hands more in front of the golf ball and that golf ball should launch way lower and run forever
01:41 So that right there will make it popular on social media give it a go share with your friends see what you can do
